Autism, a complex developmental condition affecting the patient’s ability to interact, communicate, and progress, has not one but many subtypes. Frank Dalmas, Assistant Director of Children's Programs, states "Autism in children presents in extremely diverse manners; here at Easterseals of Western and Central PA we individualize the curriculum to meet the needs of each student. Staff at Easterseals are trained within research-based instructional strategies that are proven to deliver the best possible educational and therapeutic outcomes for the child. Our low teacher to student staff ratio aids in the individualization of the educational experience to each learner."
