Ohio Autism Scholarship Provider List

Langsford is an Approved Provider for the Autism Scholarship Program

Since 2004, Langsford Learning Acceleration Centers, in Cincinnati, has been an authorized provider of services for the Autism Scholarship Program (ASP).  The ASP is run and maintained by the Ohio Department of Education, Office for Exceptional Children.

For those families who have had a child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, this may be an appropriate alternative to traditional schooling.  The basic purpose of this program is to provide scholarship money to families to fund services which provide direct support for acheiving goals set forth on a valid Individualized Education Program (IEP).

Langsford is an appropriate service provider for your child if:

• Your child is diagnosed with Asperger' Syndrome or PDD-NOS, or is otherwise high-functioning with a reasonable ability to communicate orally.  Though we work with all types of children and behaviors, we are reading and learning experts, not behaviorial therapists.  Children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder will be evaluated to determine if our reading and learning approaches are an appropriate fit.
  
  We generally work with teenagers in comprehension and expresssive language to improve their ability to think beyond the words on the page and the black and white facts.  For these students, reading came easy. 
  
  On occassion, we see younger students with ASD who need reading support. Again, the students we work best with have a reasonable ability to communicate.
  
  
• Your child's IEP has goals for developing skills in reading, spelling, comprehension, expresssive language, and writing.
  
• You are looking for daily educational therapies, not a full-time school.  Langsford is not a full-time school.
