Preschool Program
The Blue Ridge Autism and Achievement
Center has an inclusive preschool classroom. Preschoolers attend
BRAAC from 8:00 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., five days per week. The classroom
has 4-5 peer models and 2-3 students with autism. Individualized
pre-academic and academic programs are offered to the preschooler
with autism. Intensive, one-to-one sessions alternate with small
group activities, as needed. The focus is to teach children how to
relate to classmates and participate in various situations. Each
child’s schedule of learning activities is especially designed to
meet his or her needs, but all programs emphasize language
development and social interaction. The peer model program is unique
because it provides an intensive learning environment on a
pre-school level. It is fun, interactive and is offered at a
fraction of the cost of other day schools. Preschoolers offer a
great contribution to the students who have autism.
