Autism Preschool Group Has Openings for Fall Semester
The Applied Behavior Analysis Program at the U of A has three openings for preschool-aged children with complex communication needs.
The free program meets from 9 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings now through Dec. 7. A second session will run during the spring semester. Families are responsible for transportation to the U of A campus.
Children who participate in the program are taught in a preschool learning environment using ABA methods. Each preschool child is assigned a graduate student to work with them throughout the 12-week program, which is overseen by a Board-Certified Behavior Analysis Doctoral Level (BCBA-D).
Children must meet the following criteria to attend the preschool group:
- Be between the ages of 2 and 5 years old
- Have a diagnosis of autism or be on a waiting list for an autism diagnostic evaluation
- Have complex communication needs
Interested families/caregivers/case managers should contact Liz Lorah, associate professor of special education, at lorah@uark.edu or 479-575-5498.
