“We visited many other schools and chose Y.A.L.E. because of its highly trained, complete staff. We like the fact that a BCBA is available at all times to oversee the behavior plan and instruction.” — Carol E.

Y.A.L.E. School Mullica Township campus
Atlantic County
The Y.A.L.E School’s Mullica Township campus, located in Elwood near the White Horse Pike and Atlantic City Expressway, serves students 3 to 10 years of age with autism spectrum disorders.
The program provides full-day, educational programming, with extended school year services available. Classrooms offer low student-to-staff ratios. Instruction is based on the principles and practices of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), an evidence-based treatment shown by research to be highly effective. The Mullica Township campus operates within a public elementary school, giving students the opportunity to receive highly specialized services in a setting offering interactions with typical peers.
To improve student outcomes, every goal in a student’s IEP is measured objectively and frequently. Performance data are often graphed. Changes to each student’s instruction and services are based on data trends, clinical conferences, parent conferences, and IEP requirements.
The Mullica Township campus offers:
- Low student-to-staff ratio: 1:1 for younger students; 2:1 for older students.
- Small classes limited to eight students.
- Highly-qualified teachers.
- ABA-based instruction.
- Data-based instruction and intervention.
- Curriculum focused on academics, life skills, functional communication, fine and gross motor skills, adaptive behaviors, and greater independence.
- Instructional strategies, including errorless teaching, incidental teaching, functional behavioral assessments, individualized activity schedules and verbal behavior.
- Individualized schedules of reinforcement.
- Opportunities for interaction with typical peers provided on an individualized basis.
- Program supervision by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA).
- Frequent communication between school, home, and the student’s home district.
- On-site parent education and training programs.
- An extended school year program.
