This Arizona Center for Autism originated from persistent concerns by parents in the Tucson area. These families were experiencing the same ongoing diffi culties that
many of you may have today. They include, but are not limited to the following:
> Insufficient and/or inadequate staff training
> No implementation of proven teaching strategies
> Inadequate opportunities to socialize
> Inadequate data measuring and progress tracking
> Lack of teamwork between parents and school staff
The most proven methods
To achieve a comprehensive level of learning, we will utilize teaching methods dictated by the needs of each individual student. Teaching
strategies include:

We Know Autism
