Autism Services for Children on the Spectrum
With 1 in 31 children identified as having autism spectrum disorder, Bellefaire JCB’s Monarch Center for Autism is a welcoming ray of hope for parents and caregivers. Our nationally recognized programs provide innovative, evidence-based care for individuals with autism through a full continuum of services, including a specialized day school, cutting-edge transition education programs, and therapeutic residential care.
Every program is thoughtfully designed to nurture developmental growth, cultivate independence, and empower long-term success. With a strong emphasis on excellence in everything we do, Monarch provides a safe, caring environment where children and young adults with autism can reach their fullest potential and parents can have peace of mind.
Monarch Day School
The cornerstone of Bellefaire’s Monarch Center for Autism is Monarch School – a state-chartered, non-public day school for students ages 5 through 21 with autism. Licensed by the Ohio State Board of Education, Monarch School sets the standard for specialized education through its individualized, evidence-based approach. Students are assigned to classroom-based teams according to age, language level and academic functioning.
One-on-one and small group instruction is delivered by a multidisciplinary team that includes speech-language pathologists; occupational therapists; behavior specialists; intervention specialists; music, art and recreational therapists; and associate teachers.
A Look Inside
Every element of Monarch School is designed to foster academic achievement, emotional growth, and lifelong skills in a nurturing environment. Our state-of-the-art facility is intentionally designed to appease the sensory needs of students with a soft color palette, gentle up-lighting, an abundance of natural light, extra sound proofing, quiet wooden lockers, odorless paint and carpet, special sensory rooms (Snoezelen Rooms), one-on-one learning rooms, gross motor rooms, adapted playgrounds, sensory gardens, and adapted indoor swimming pool.
Specialized technology is an important tool in Monarch classrooms. Educational software, video modeling, iPads and other mobile devices, computers with web-based tools, SmartBoards, and Augmentative Communication Devices are used liberally during the school day to supplement students’ Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and/or Individualized Service Plans (ISPs).
