Program Consultation: Theme-Based Learning for Center-Based Classrooms

$199.00

This program consultation supports center-based autism classrooms in designing and implementing meaningful, engaging theme-based learning across the school day. Led by an autism consultant with over 10 years of experience working directly in center-based classrooms, this service bridges evidence-based practice with realistic, classroom-tested strategies.

The consultation focuses on embedding theme-based learning into academic instruction, daily routines, and therapeutic supports to increase student engagement, comprehension, and generalization of skills. Themes are used as a vehicle for learning—not the goal—allowing students with diverse needs, interests, and communication levels to access curriculum in a predictable and motivating way.

Consultation may include:

  • Review of current classroom structure, schedule, and instructional blocks

  • Support with selecting and adapting themes appropriate for student needs and developmental levels

  • Integration of themes across reading, writing, math, life skills, and social learning

  • Strategies for balancing student interests with shared classroom themes

  • Visual supports, routines, and environmental setup aligned with theme-based instruction

  • Differentiation strategies for mixed-ability and self-contained classrooms

  • Coaching on maintaining consistency while allowing flexibility within themes

  • Collaboration with teachers, paraprofessionals, and related service providers

This service is ideal for classrooms looking to:

  • Increase student engagement and participation

  • Build background knowledge and comprehension through repeated exposure

  • Create cohesion across academic and functional learning

  • Strengthen staff confidence and consistency in instruction

  • Ensure theme-based learning remains purposeful and accessible for students with autism

Consultation can be provided through on-site observation, planning sessions, staff coaching, or ongoing support depending on classroom needs. Starting at $200 for initial observations and $100 for follow up meetings/work (per hour).
