The Manor House School of Cape Cod was founded to provide individualized, comprehensive programming based on Best Practices for students diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Key elements of Best Practices include extended day, extended year programs using the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which are typically unavailable in the public school setting*. Additionally, an intensive, research-based teaching methodology such as ABA that is implemented at an early age maximizes a student’s ability to access the mainstream curriculum and interact with peers. The ultimate goal for all students is that they become as independent and productive as possible**.

* Federal law requires schools to provide services to children with disability based on peer-reviewed research to the extent practicable (20 U.S.C. §1414(d)(1)(A)(IV).
