About VISTA SCHOOL

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

A group of highly committed parents and professionals, seeking to create an alternative educational and therapeutic program in Central Pennsylvania, established The Vista School® to prepare children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to function in the community with increasing independence. The Vista School® opened its doors to 4 children on February 4, 2002, and since that day has been committed to preparing its students for meaningful involvement in public school programs, community activities, or eventual productive work. Vista currently serves 80 children with ASD ranging in age from pre-kindergarten to secondary school age from Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, and York Counties. Vista serves children who are functioning on the moderate to severe end of the autism spectrum. These children often display severe delays in communication skills, engage in higher rates of problematic or challenging behaviors, require assistance for activities of daily living, have little or limited ability to appropriately occupy their leisure time, and need one-on-one instruction for learning new skills.
