Have Dreams Programs

Have Dreams offers a variety of instructional programming specifically designed to build social, pre-vocational, and independent living skills for children challenged with autism. All programs offered provide individualized instruction for each child, and are based on the TEACCH model, a method of structured teaching for children with autism, developed by the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill over 40 years ago. Instruction is provided by highly-trained and experienced Have Dreams staff, with support provided by staff assistants and peer social buddies, volunteer adolescent and young adults from the Maine Township community.
