Y.A.L.E. School Voorhees campus

Camden County

Our Voorhees campus, located off of Routes 295 and 30, in Voorhees, serves students 3 to 14 years of age with autism or pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS).

The program provides a full-day of educational programming, with extended school year services available. Each classroom offers a low student-to-staff ratio. Instruction is based on the principles and practices of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), an evidence-based treatment shown by research to be highly effective for students with an autism spectrum disorder.

To improve student outcomes, the goals in each student’s IEP are measured objectively and frequently and performance data are graphed. Changes to instruction and services are based on data trends, clinical conferences, parent conferences, and IEP requirements.

The Voorhees campus offers:

• Low student-to-staff ratio: 1:1 and 2:1.
• Small classes limited to 6-8 students.
• Highly-qualified teachers.
• Two on-site Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs).
• ABA-based instruction.
• Data-based instruction and intervention.
• A curriculum that stresses academics, life skills, functional communication, fine and gross motor skills, adaptive behaviors and independence.
• Instructional strategies including errorless teaching, incidental teaching, functional behavioral assessments, individualized activity schedules and verbal behavior.
• Individualized schedules of reinforcement.
• Program supervision by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA).
• Frequent communication between school, home, and the student’s home district.
• An extended school year program.
