Our Commitment to Quality of Life

 

Alpine Learning Group’s Adult Program currently serves eight learners and provides them ongoing practical education and support into the adult years. Adult programming continues Alpine Learning Group’s dedicated instruction in self-care, recreation, and leisure skills, and focuses on facilitating community integration by placing and supporting young adults in paid and internship job settings. The adult program is presently housed in a suite within an office building in Ridgewood, NJ. There is a capital campaign underway for the building of a new adult learning facility on the campus on which the school is located.

Started in 2004, Alpine Learning Group’s adult day program includes:

  • A full day (9:00am - 4:00pm) twelve month program for learners over age 21

  • A wide range of ABA-based teaching techniques individualized to each learner

  • Focus on gaining paid employment for all adult learners, with volunteer opportunities provided when necessary

  • Individualized programming across a wide range of curriculum areas, with an emphasis on communication, self-care, leisure, social and functional academic skills

  • Emphasis on community integration

  • Small group and one-to-one instruction

  • Intervention in both structured and natural settings

  • Regular educational clinics bringing together families, learners, and staff

  • Systematic data analyses to track learner performance

  • Highly qualified, certified behavior analysts to supervise learner programming

  • Intensive staff training and supervision to ensure the highest quality instruction

“…almost every aspect of the classrooms appealed to me. The physical lay out, the schedule, the teacher to student ratio, the materials, the data collection systems, the learning activities, the cool gadgets, the exceptional dignified treatment of the students, the strong focus on research, continuing education at all levels, and the significant contributions to the national and international behavioral treatment of children with disabilities. You have indeed established a model that we all can benefit from.”
