Benjamin's Hope provides RPM training, which is an academic teaching method that equips persons with autism and similar disorders to express learning, understanding, reasoning and thought. Students can develop skills in  identifying written choices. As the student progresses, RPM uses prompting to initiate a student’s independent response (without physical support) on a variety of mediums such as a stencil board, laminated letterboard, or a keyboard. RPM also works on skills such as handwriting, verbalizing words and motor skills for desired hobbies. These tools assist expression and can be life-changing for people who are not traditionally verbal.
