Oakview Primary School
The Oakview Primary School (OPS) strives to provide a comprehensive instructional program through individualized learning and consistent structure for students' ages 3-12 on the Autism Spectrum or with severe language impairment. Through the use of Developmental Therapy and SCERTS models, OPS incorporates visual aids and static visual cueing, functional academics and life skills curriculum, and the development of play and social skills by providing 1:1 and small group instruction.
Our class sizes are small, ranging in staff to student ratio from 1:1 to 3:6. Classes have no more than six students, and are staffed by a certified teacher, educational instructor, and at least one instructional aide.
OPS students receive individualized programming to meet their specific developmental needs. The school day is highly structured, predictable, and highly focused on social communication and emotional regulation as foundations for learning and relating.
OPS is highly focused on transactional supports and includes emotional and educational support for families through support groups, workshops, home visits, and extended year programming.

"Throughout the years they have gone above and beyond with explaining resources, IEP goals, walking me through every step of the PPT process and showing encouragement and concern in all the right places.
He has learned so many new ways to communicate as a non verbal/ non speaking 10 year old boy, who was 5 when he started CES. The time taken to make him PECs cards to succeed outside of school and even a binder replicating his school book helped us connect the dots with keeling things consistent outside of the school atmosphere"
