THE ELIJA SCHOOL

Our mission is to open doors to independent growth for individuals

with Autism; creating appropriate opportunities for these individuals

to become contributing & interactive members of their mainstream

communities. We are committed to serving individuals with autism &

their families with distinctive quality in educational and

intervention services. We believe that each individual has a right to

services that enhance well being, quality of life and opportunities to

learn. The ELIJA School encourages the use of best clinical practices

and believes everyone has the right to effective treatment. We are

committed in ensuring the most effective, individualized intervention

program for each child and to provide the highest quality in teaching

and learning that we can possibly achieve. Our school thrives on

nurturing independent growth and fostering a diginified quality of life.

Autism is a complex neurological disorder that typically lasts

throughout a person's lifetime. Today, 1 in 150 individuals is

diagnosed with autism. It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social

groups and is four times more likely to strike boys than girls. Autism

impairs a person's ability to communicate and relate to others. It is

also associated with impeding maladaptive behavior, rigid routines and

repetitive behaviors. Symptoms can range from very mild to quite severe.

Currently, there are no effective means to prevent autism, no fully

effective treatments, and no cure. Research indicates, however, that

early intervention in an appropriate educational setting can result in

significant improvements for many young children with Autism Spectrum

Disorders. As soon as autism is diagnosed, early intervention

instruction should begin. Effective programs, such as ours, focus on

developing communication, social, and functional life -cognitive skills.

The ELIJA School is a private, non-profit school for children and

young adults diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorders that provides

an individualized full day 12 month program .The ELIJA School serves

the needs of our learners with science based treatment; utilizing the

principles of Applied Behavior Analysis. It provides an intensive, 1

to 1 child to teacher ratio in a comprehensive instructional setting

within a classroom environment. The ELIJA School focuses on the

development of functional communication, academic and social life

skills. The ELIJA School conducts external program evaluations to

monitor the quality and effectiveness of our educational & treatment

programs.
