Who we are
Bacot Academy is a non-profit, private, Christian school. Bacot Academy was founded in 2008, being the first and original autism school in this area. We provide year-round specialized education based on the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) as well as, B.F. Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior. We believe that both thinking and teaching outside the box is sometimes necessary for our special children. We feel both blessed and honored to teach our students the way they learn. We completely agree with the philosophy “Different not Less” (Temple Grandin)
Our mission
We are dedicated to recognizing and nurturing the unique educational needs of each student. We strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential. By fostering a culture of understanding, respect, and innovation, we empower students with autism to succeed in their personal and academic journeys.
Our Approach
All Bacot Academy’s staff are trained in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which serves as the basis for its educational program. ABA has long been considered the most effective and scientifically validated approach for teaching individuals with autism and other disabilities. The program is both evidence-based and innovative, using tried and tested methods to teach students new skills in creative and inventive ways. Our students receive a quality, well-rounded, and functional education that will help them lead productive, meaningful lives with as much independence as possible.
