At The Victory Center, each child’s program is specially designed to meet his or her specific needs and to take into account individual strengths and weaknesses. Each child’s Individual Education Objective Program (IEOP) is based upon an in-depth assessment of the child. These programs include language, self-help, social skills, and life skills.

Shadow/Transition Program
Each day in the United States, millions of children go off to school, all with different strengths and weaknesses, abilities and needs. Over five million of these children have been identified as having a specific disability such as Autism, or a learning disability that necessitates some type of special instruction. In order to address the special needs of these children, schools rely upon people who have been specially trained to help them.
The Victory Center has created a special program designed for children with disabilities that are making the transition to a typical or mainstream classroom. An experienced teacher trained and supervised through The Victory Center provides a vital and indispensable role in the child’s long-term achievements.
The use of an instructional assistant (shadow) becomes a primary mechanism to implement more inclusive school practices. This instructional assistant shadows the child throughout each day ensuring adequate educational support.
Hand-In-Hand Home Support
Youngsters with autism and related disabilities often suffer from severe behavior problems that require continuous and systematic observation, analysis and intervention. For effective intervention and education to take place, it is essential that the family react to those behaviors in a manner consistent with the school.
The Victory School provides a range of training opportunities that enable parent and siblings to participate in their children’s learning experiences. Parental Observation during the school day coupled with regular Parent Training, where The Victory School personnel model the use of new intervention procedures.
Victory School staff members make regular home visits to families to consult with parents regarding program implementation and problem behavior. Frequent conferences with parents help to assure that young people’s new skills will generalize from school and Helping Hand programs add the community involvement edge to home and community settings.
