Center for Spectrum Services serves over 150 students at our day school center-based facilities in Kingston and Ellenville, New York. One hundred percent of our students fall on the autism spectrum or present with a similar disability and are sent to us by their individual school districts. We serve children aged 3 – 12.
This year alone, our students come to us from 6 surrounding counties, and 34 different school districts. The specific school districts and counties shift annually as we accept new students when current students move on to different programs based on many factors including their age and individual needs.
Our Community-Based services are offered primarily to children who have been diagnosed with, or are suspected of having, an Autism Spectrum Disorder before reaching school age. Related service professionals, including Special Educators, Speech Pathologists and Occupational and Physical Therapists, provide in-home services to children and our Family Service Coordinators offer support and guidance to assist parents and other family members. Our Community Based program currently provides programs for 115 children.
In addition to Center-Based and Community-Based services, we also provide workshops and support for parents of our students as well as all parents within the greater community who face the challenges of having a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Since siblings often experience challenges as they navigate life with a brother or sister with autism, we offer siblings special workshops 10 times a year at the same time we offer programs for their parents.
Many children who are on the higher end of the autism spectrum attend their local public schools yet struggle with appropriate responses to traditional social settings and experiences. To assist these youngsters and young adults, Center for Spectrum Services also offers Social Skills Workshops and After School Counseling. During the past school year, we served 51 children and young adults with this aspect of our programs.
