Alternative Teaching Strategy Center Information

Alternative Teaching Strategy Center is a non-profit NPA (non-public agency) registered with the California Department of Education. We work directly with parents, School Districts and other State Agencies and provide one-on-one behavioral services to children and adults with autism. We utilize Visual Communication Analysis (VCA) a strategy for teaching autistic children. Visual Communication Analysis is a strategy targeted at autistic children who think in pictures i.e. visual learners. This technique is a combination of strategies used to teach visual learners with the techniques of Self Determination Theory. It has shown remarkable success with those children who have failed to progress using standard ABA practices.
