Interactions

Interactions programming supports students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD impacts how people understand what they see, hear and sense. This lifelong disorder can result in difficulties in communication, social relationships, behaviour or learning. Although some students with ASD achieve at grade level, many have uneven or delayed achievement.

Our three Interactions classrooms (grades 1-6) typically provide a higher ratio of adults to students (approximately 1 adult to 3 students). Therefore, students are able to benefit from more one on one targeted support. Students in our program will have the opportunity to be included in regular classroom activities whenever staff agree that it would be beneficial for the learning of the student. An Individual Program Plan is developed yearly in consultation with parents, with targeted goals specific for each student.
