Room 111 - High School MIP-A

Teacher:  

Our class of seven students, three teacher assistants and a teacher is one of two high school Multi Intervention Program for Children with Autism (MIP-A) class in Arlington County.

Our primary focus is on Social Skills and improving vocational and independent living skills through a highly structured environment. From our morning group to set up our daily schedule, to departure to extended day or the bus, we spend each day working hard towards our individual goals for the school year.  Our class time is divided between equally between social skills, academics and vocational training.

Our students go to various job sites as well as campus jobs.  We enjoy going to the swimming pool and taking trips to the community.
