At LPA our behaviorally based program is driven by the empirical methodology of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), utilizing the ‘Positive Programming’ model where the focus is on teaching students alternative, functional skills (e.g., communication) in order to decrease and replace maladaptive behaviors. Prevention of behaviors and teaching self-regulation is a focus through appropriate learning materials, structured classroom environments, positive staff interactions and relationship development with students, as well as sensory diets developed for each student based on his or her individual needs. Each team member works collaboratively to provide a positive experience for the student and family through a flexible and well-rounded approach. Innovative, research-based teaching methodologies and ABA principles are utilized to develop each individual to their fullest potential.
