For many years Precious Time Child Development Center ran our own highly successful preschool program with 2 sites across the Richmond area. Our vision at Precious Time is to create a more inclusive Virginia by eradicating gaps in eradicating gaps in services for the neurodiverse. We created the Autism Inclusion Program to fulfill this mission by incorporating our inclusive intervention module within our natural preschool environment.
Why?
• Because there is a great need for inclusive, sustainable preschools
• 1 in 44 children have autism spectrum disorder – the need for sustainable, inclusive preschools exist
• Research shows that early interventions for autism are more likely to have major, long-term positive effects on symptoms and later skills
• Finding quality, affordable childcare is even more difficult for families with children who have a disability
How?
• Having a Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA) on staff
• Having Registered Behavior Analysts (RBT) on staff
• By providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program in our natural preschool environment
• By providing specific training to all our teachers to aid in implementation of ABA
• By working with medical insurance providers to help cover the costs of additional supports
