OUR MISSION

" Educating the Educators " . Elija's mission is to be on the FOREFRONT

of effective and intense interventions relating to the wide range of

challenges that are associated with Autistic Spectrum Disorders. Our

efforts will be on disseminating this knowledge and information

through comprehensive trainings and workshops by various professionals

and researchers in the field. Our mission is to educate a clearer

understanding of the research based interventions (in particular

Applied Behavior Anlaysis). We focus on empowering parents, caregivers

and teachers of Autistic children with extensive information and

inform them of their CRUCIAL role of being active and knowledgable

participants in their children's educational and intervention plan.

Elija offers scholarships to parents, caregivers and special educators

to on - going and sustained workshops. The goal is for the attendees

to gain a greater understanding in the application of research based

interventions for children on the Autistic Spectrum. Our major

concentration is on functional analysis, functional communication and

behavior improvement planning.

We thank you for your support in helping our mission become a

successful reality.
