The Beacon Day School works to build an integrated educational care program for students ages 5-22. The integrated program guides students with autism and related disorders toward independence and a better quality of life.
Beacon Day School academic programs are grounded in the principles of Universal Design for Learning. This is a set of design principles meant to guide teachers in reducing learning barriers for each individual student. This is done through improving motivation, presenting information in various ways, and expanding how a student expresses their understanding. Beacon Day School programs use UDL to set instructional goals, inform teaching methods, and develop materials that help students to meet and exceed their IEP goals. The faculty and staff at BDS truly care about the safety, dignity, and quality-of-life of our students and their families. It is that caring and commitment that create the progress and breakthroughs that allow students to meet their goals and lead more independent lives.
