Evergreen Center was founded in 1982 by Dr. Robert F. Littleton, Jr., with the goal of providing a supportive learning and living environment for children and adolescents with autism and severe developmental disabilities. The center utilizes Applied Behavior Analysis as the foundation for its instructional technologies, with the aim of developing communication, basic academic, self-care, and social interaction skills. These fundamental abilities are essential for students to transition to less restrictive settings and lead a high quality life. Through the implementation of evidence-based practices, the Evergreen Center strives to ensure that all students reach their maximum potential.
The Basic Skills Program is designed to teach functional daily living skills that will increase independence in community, residential and school environments. Classroom education is provided through individual and small group instruction which emphasizes functional communication, self-preservation skills, community integration, pre-vocational and vocational training and adaptive social behavior.
