Somerset Hills Learning Institute provides personalized education
and treatment at school and in learners' homes and communities. Using the science of applied behavior
analysis, the Institute enables learners to acquire the language, academic, and
social skills that lead to independence.
At Somerset Hills Learning Institute, children with autism
are doing what was thought to be impossible just a short time ago. Children
once silent and “cold” are speaking with parents and asking for hugs and
tickles. Youngsters once thought “joyless” can now be seen skateboarding,
taking ballet classes, riding roller coasters—the same things
typically-developing children enjoy.
Our Program Includes:
1:1 instruction: Learning is made possible with a
one-teacher-to-one-student ratio.
Individualized curriculum: The peer-reviewed
literature and student-performance data dictate the most effective teaching
method based on the science of applied behavior analysis for each student.
On-site, hands-on supervision: Ensures quality and
consistency of education, every day, for every child with a 1:5 staff trainer
to teacher ratio.
Home programming: Frequent home visits by teachers
promote the generalization of skills to real-world settings.
Parent instruction: Strengthens communication between
parents and children.
Transition program: Preparation and follow-up
services for integrating children into traditional education settings.
Professional development: Training opportunities for
professionals to improve autism treatment in their communities.
Research: Staff members present at, and participate
in, conferences dedicated to best practices in autism treatment.
