TIMOTHY SCHOOL
About School District: The Timothy School was established in 1966 as a non-profit school for children with autism. We are the oldest, non-profit school in Pennsylvania devoted exclusively to the educational needs of children with this disability. From a church school with nine children, six teachers, and many volunteers, the school has grown into a model program emphasizing Structured Teaching, Applied Behavior Analysis, and Positive Behavioral Supports as core components of the instructional program. Each day, sixty-four children, ages five to twenty-one, come to our school from twenty-seven school districts located in five counties within the southeastern region of Pennsylvania. Each year, we conduct orientation programs for resident physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and other professional to further their understanding of the autism diagnosis and what this means for children and their families. We provide community service opportunities for students from local elementary and secondary schools who volunteer to work with our students. We also provide pre-service opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students from six colleges and universities. Visitors have come to see our school from as far as Denbighshire, UK, Modbury, Australia, and Tanzania, Africa. THE TIMOTHY SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT: • To provide students, five through twenty-one years of age diagnosed with autism and pervasive developmental disorders, with the communication, social, cognitive, and life skills necessary to enable them to function effectively and as independently as possible in the least restrictive environment. • To provide parents with training and support so that they can serve as partners within the school community and work effectively with their children at home. • To disseminate research and educate the community about the abilities and needs of people with autism/PDD. • To provide practical field experiences for university, college, and medical students pursuing studies in special education or developmental disabilities.
