The Early Learning Program (ELP) is an ABA-based, classroom-based program for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and neurotypical peers. Students with ASD in the ELP are identified through an extensive screening process including the evaluation report from the psychologist or developmental pediatrician, the caregiver interview about the child’s areas of strengths and needs, and structured observations by the education director during a trial run within the classroom setting.  The initial components of the screening process can help direct the intake staff to the appropriate placement for that child. Group learners usually, but not always, have a level 1 ASD diagnosis with mild to moderate language impairments, no accompanying cognitive impairments, and often have the ability to imitate motor skills and vocalizations. This has a high indication that the child will learn to follow instructions and respond well to prompting.
