Mission Statement
Our mission at P255Q, is to empower students with autism and other developmental disabilities to achieve independence and an improved quality of life through individualized, evidence-based instruction. We follow both NYC Public Schools and District 75 curricular guidance, including NYC Reads and NYC Solves initiatives, while using formative and summative assessments to drive instruction and provide tiered interventions based on individual student needs.
Our staff collaborate as a professional learning community by analyzing data, engaging in targeted professional development, and implementing best practices such as Structured Teaching, tenets of Applied Behavior Analysis and positive behavior supports. We aim to enrich the connection between school, home, and community by equipping all families with tools and training to extend student learning and skill development acquired in school across all environments.
