Autism Residential Program
About us
Our goal at St. Colman’s Home is to ensure that every student is provided with the best services to allow for the most opportunity for growth potential. Our team combines these ABA techniques in conjunction with out Functional Living Skills curriculum to allow every individual the most opportunity to learn how to live as independently as they can.
Our curriculum accounts for and encompasses all areas in need of independent functioning. By utilizing The Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS), we are able to gain an understanding of each student’s baseline pertaining to their ability to live independently. Our team then collaborates to develop an individual living plan for each student to teach them in their need areas to help foster independent functioning. We have found by utilize the AFLS in conjunction with some of the methods and principles of ABA, students are able to grow and maximize their full potential.
We understand that autism spectrum disorder is a complex neurobiological disorder that can drastically impact the lives of all who face it. Our team is in constant contact with families to help growth and allow for consistency across all environments.

A Twelve Month Residential Program.
|
St. Colman’s is a 12 month program that follows the academic school schedule. This includes mandatory breaks. At St. Colman’s, we look at the whole family system. Therefore we encourage visitations and school/holiday breaks to help keep families together and allow for a healthy system that can function on all cylinders! Due to the nature and severity of autism, we know breaks can be difficult for families, therefore we offer family supports and in-services to ensure that each family is fully prepared and has the knowledge they need to allow for consistencies across both, academic and the home environment. We can also assist in helping families seek supports if they need on such breaks. Our mission is to not only improve the life of the individual we work with, but their families as well, therefore we understand the importance of offering as much help and assistance as possible.
