The McCarton School is dedicated to the
education of children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD).
The vision of the McCarton School is to provide the best opportunity
offered anywhere for children with ASD to achieve their fullest potential.
Each child with an autistic spectrum disorder is unique. Traditional methods of
treatment have typically championed a single modality for all children, with variable
success. We believe that a multisystem disorder such as ASD needs a comprehensive
approach that incorporates all the therapies necessary to address each child's
deficits.
The McCarton School embraces a multidisciplinary approach using the best available
teaching techniques, including behavioral techniques (Applied Behavior Analysis),
speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, sensory integration training and play therapy. We also routinely
develop a close partnering with parents to expand the skills we teach at school to the world
of home and community.
This approach, in our hands, produces a greater degree of improvement for children with ASD.
Through use of the best available teaching techniques and a working partnership
among teachers, parents and children the McCarton School is moving toward fully
realizing its vision of children learning and playing in their natural environment.
