Serving Individuals with Autism

  

 

Life Point was established in 2002 to provide support to young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders or ASD.  These are lifelong disorders characterized by language, social, cognitive and behavioral disabilities.

Through our programs, Life Skills and Academic, individuals are provided skills for daily living, pre-vocational skills and educational instruction in a Christian environment.   

Our Life Skills program provides our clients the opportunity to live and learn in a safe and preferred environment while participating in the daily activities of the community in which they live.  The student to teacher ratio is 1:1, serving clients ages 15 and over. Program hours are 9:00 am to 2:00 pm Monday through Friday. It is a year round program with five weeks of vacation distributed throughout the year.  Tuition is required.  Transportation is provided for community activities during the school day.

The Academic program offers an individualized education plan for moderate functioning students on the spectrum.  Serving ages 12 and older, with a teacher to student ratio of 1:5,  the emphasis of this program is subject mastery. All instruction follows the classic curriculums, which includes traditional academics and cultural exposure to the arts.  Program hours are from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm Monday through Friday and follow a typical school-year calendar.   Tuition is required.

We are blessed to be a Ministry of the Mansfield Church of Christ and we encourage you to learn more about our programs and how you can help.
