CLASSROOM SUPPORT/ SCHOOL SHADOW 

Children with ASD, or other learning impairments, often fail to learn through typical learning methods and the Behavior Technician or “Shadow” provides consistency to the child in a setting which can otherwise be overwhelming.

Shine’s role in the classroom is to teach the child to successfully learn within the school environment, and we promote independent functioning by facilitating independent participation in the classroom. We teach skills such as: initiating and responding in the classroom, independent self-care, as well as encouraging appropriate social interaction with peers.
