Autism Resource Program

ARP is a secondary program for students diagnosed on the autism spectrum who are seeking a regular high school program, but require additional supports. Students who have been accepted in ARP benefit from individual programming with the goal of inclusion in regular programming, or to continue receiving individual programming within the resource room. Students within the autism spectrum often benefit from having access to a resource room for quiet work time together with the resource room teacher to implement strategies which support student learning. This class is a non-credit elective.

Direct instruction in social skills is provided through in-class lessons, interaction with classmates, and with typical peers. Transition planning is a major component of the program. Opportunities to participate in community activities and planning for post-secondary options can also be done on an individual basis.
