Admissions
Crossroads School specializes in serving children and young adults between the ages of 3 and 22 with autism spectrum disorders and related diagnoses. Interested parents, guardians, and school districts may request an informational tour of our facilities that includes a description of Crossroads’ philosophy, treatment approach and educational services. The actual admissions process consists of three steps:
Referral
Crossroads accepts applications for admission when accompanied by a referral packet from a school district. Referral packets are reviewed promptly to determine if our program is appropriate for the student’s needs.
Intake Screening
After reviewing the Referral Packet, an appointment is made for an intake screening if it’s determined that our services may be able to help the student achieve the goals and objectives in his/her IEP. During the intake, the child’s repertoire is evaluated to assess skills and competencies. The Admissions Committee then determines if an opening exists in a classroom that matches the applicant’s age and functioning level. Intake screenings are scheduled for one hour and take place at Crossroads while parents meet with a member of the Admissions Department.
Determination
After reviewing all the information collected during the initial referral and intake screening, the Admissions Committee makes a determination regarding acceptance. Student admission is based on available placement into the child’s most appropriate peer grouping within the school. If our services are well matched to the student’s needs, but an opening is not available, the student’s application will be placed in our referral file pending an appropriate opening. The referral file allows us to consider all students who have been approved for admission. When we have a vacancy, we consider the needs of our students we currently have and the needs of the referred children.
