Vision:

We do not teach labels...We teach children.

Mission:

Changing the lives of individuals with autism by building collaborative relationships that promote acceptance, independence, self-determination, and life-long success.

Beliefs:

• We believe all students have the capacity to learn.
• We believe all students are here to be educated and that education changes lives.
• We believe in empowering and equipping our students to be successful in the world.
• We educate our own.
• We create a culture of acceptance by all teachers and peers.

Goals:

1. GCPS will develop and deliver a multi- modal (live and on-line) three tiered training plan that will increase knowledge, awareness, and skills for staff that interact with students with ASD across the division.
2. GCPS will develop and deliver a training and technical assistance plan to ensure the implementation of evidence-based strategies across grades and in all settings.
3. GCPS will develop a school-to-school/ grade-to-grade transition process that will ensure the sending team shares behavior plans, tips, schedules, communication methods, and medical/eating issues with the receiving school. Additionally, the receiving team will have the opportunity to develop necessary rapport with the student.
4. GCPS will develop and deliver a comprehensive evaluation process to ensure appropriate and early identification of students with autism.
