Y.A.L.E. School Audubon campus

Camden County

The Y.A.L.E. School’s Audubon campus, located just off Routes 295 and 676, serves students 8 to 21 years of age with autism or pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS).

The program operates classes in two buildings in public schools in Audubon. Younger students (8 to 11 years of age) attend classes in an elementary/middle school building, while older students (12 to 21 years of age) attend classes in a public high school. This allows opportunities for students to interact with typical peers on an individual basis.

The curriculum at our Audubon campus emphasizes functional academics and training in prevocational and life-skills. Older students receive vocational training, job sampling, and/or job coaching on an individual basis. Weekly community outings allow students to generalize the knowledge and skills they learn in classrooms.

The Audubon campus uses evidence-based instruction to improve students’ access to the curriculum and strengthen their academics, independence, life skills, functional communications, fine and gross motor skills, and adaptive behavior.

The Audubon campus offers:

• A low student-to-staff ratio: 2:1.
• Small classes limited to eight students.
• Highly-qualified teachers.
• Weekly supervision by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs).
• Small group instruction.
• ABA-based instruction.
• Data-based instruction and intervention.
• A curriculum emphasizing functional academics, with a primary focus on prevocational and life-skills training.
• Instructional strategies including errorless teaching, incidental teaching, strategy instruction, functional behavioral assessments, individualized activity schedules, and verbal behavior.
• Individualized schedules of reinforcement.
• Community-based instruction to promote generalization.
• Frequent communication between school, home, and the student’s home district.
• An extended school year program.
• Transition consultations.
