With these funds I will purchase a TeachTown Social Skills Assessments license for my students, so they can learn to "use their words".  One of the biggest barriers students with autism face is communication and socialization. This series has a comprehensive approach that appeals to young learners with fun characters my kids already know and love! All of the lessons, episodes, data collection, and curriculum resources are accessed online. The TeachTown Basics program helped my students make huge academic gains through their ABA based strategies and visually appealing presentation. I fully anticipate the social skills curriculum will provide the same success with their communication, self regulation, interactions, and ability to make friends.
