Love 2 Learn

The purpose of the Love 2 Learn program is to build strong foundational communication, learner readiness, social, and play skills in young learners with autism and other language related disorders. Through shaping and reinforcement, appropriate behaviors are strengthened while inappropriate or less functional behaviors are decreased. Our learners are children between 18-months and 6 years of age. The program runs weekday mornings and afternoons. Instruction is individualized, with a 1:1 learner: instructor ratio.

The instructional model incorporates the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis with a focus on B.F. Skinner's Analysis of Verbal Behavior. A VB program captures and contrives a learner's motivation in order to teach and reinforce new skills. The learner's motivation to engage in instructional activities is maintained through the application of effective teaching procedures. The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills-Revised (ABLLS-R) is used as a curriculum and skills tracking guide. Data is taken daily to monitor progress and mastery of goals and targets. If necessary, Behavior Intervention Plans are developed following a functional assessment to target specific learner needs. Team meetings with parental participation are held monthly to review progress, discuss current goals, and encourage generalization of skills across school and home environments.
