School Support Services

At Spectrum Social and Recreation Services, we are committed to partnering with schools to create inclusive environments that support students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other social communication differences. We recognize the dedication of educators and administrators in fostering student success, and we strive to provide the tools and resources needed to enhance their efforts. By collaborating with public and private schools, we offer tailored, on-demand support to ensure that school staff feel empowered and equipped to meet the needs of all students.

Supporting Schools in Educating Neurodivergent Students

Educating students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other social communication differences requires specialized approaches, flexibility, and collaboration. We work alongside schools to reinforce their existing strengths and address the evolving challenges of supporting students with:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
  • Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD)
  • Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NVLD)
  • Social communication differences
  • Executive functioning challenges

We understand that every school has its own unique culture and structure, which is why we offer flexible, as-needed support services designed to complement and enhance existing school initiatives. Our goal is to work in partnership with educators, administrators, and staff, ensuring they have the knowledge and resources necessary to help every student thrive.

Our School-Based Support Services
Behavior Analysis

Our Behavior Specialists collaborate with school staff to conduct Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) and develop individualized, classroom-friendly Behavior Support Plans. Beyond creating a plan, we provide hands-on modeling and staff training to ensure educators feel confident in implementing effective strategies. Our approach prioritizes long-term success by supporting educators in fostering student engagement and learning.

Student and Program Intervention & Support

We recognize that unexpected challenges can arise, and when a student or classroom is in crisis, our Education and Behavior Specialists are available to provide immediate and effective support. Using evidence-based approaches, we help restore classroom stability while equipping educators with proactive strategies that create a positive and productive learning environment. Our goal is to be a trusted partner for schools, offering solutions that reinforce their ability to support students effectively.

Social Skills Instruction

Many schools work hard to provide social learning opportunities but may face challenges due to limited trained staff or resources. Spectrum offers expertise, materials, and structured programming to help schools implement or enhance their social learning programs. We can:

  • Implement a social learning curriculum tailored to students’ needs
  • Facilitate instruction directly or provide training for school staff to lead the program long-term

By working together, we ensure that social learning is accessible and meaningful for all students.

In-Home & Community Training

We recognize that student success extends beyond the classroom. When additional support is needed for a student’s educational or behavioral needs outside the school environment, Spectrum’s team provides Related and Supplementary services to ensure consistency in learning across home, school, and community settings. Our goal is to work in alignment with school teams to promote seamless support for students.

Recreation Therapy

Our Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists (CTRS) provide:

  • Evaluations & Individualized Education Program (IEP) recommendations
  • Direct recreational therapy services
  • Staff training to integrate recreation therapy into school and community programs

By incorporating recreation therapy, schools can further enrich student experiences and provide additional avenues for growth and engagement.
