Preschool Program
The Blue Ridge Autism and Achievement Center has an inclusive preschool classroom. Preschoolers
attend BRAAC from 8:00 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., five days per week. The classroom has 4-5 peer models and 2-3
students with autism. Individualized pre-academic and academic programs are offered to the preschooler
with autism. Intensive, one-to-one sessions alternate with small group activities, as needed. The
focus is to teach children how to relate to classmates and participate in various situations. Each child’s
schedule of learning activities is especially designed to meet his or her needs, but all programs
emphasize language development and social interaction. The peer model program is unique because it
provides an intensive learning environment on a pre-school level.
It is fun, interactive and is
offered at a fraction of the cost of other day schools. Preschoolers offer a great contribution
to the students who have autism. The program is full for the 2009-2010 school year, but please call
for the 2010-2011 school year if interested in learning more!
