Autistic Support

 
Joseph Pardini, Supervisor
The DCIU Autistic Support Program is committed to work with families and their home school districts to provide a program that best meets the student's individual needs while working toward placement in the least restrictive environment.
 
The DCIU Autistic Support Program serves students diagnosed on the autism spectrum ages 3 through 21. Currently 153 students with autism are served in DCIU autistic support classrooms located at the Marple Education Center, Pennington School, and Springton Lake Middle School. The program provides appropriate services and supports as defined in the student's Individual Education Plan (IEP). Educational services, related services, behavioral support services, psychological and social work/service coordination services are provided through the DCIU autistic support program.
Students fourteen years of age and older receive transition services according to their IEP. The DCIU autistic support program, in collaboration with the DCIU OPTIONS program, provides prevocational training, supported and paid employment opportunities.
