Montessori materials are didactic (self-correcting).
CCIS adopts the TEACCH program (Treatment and Education of Autistic and Communication Handicapped Children) in order to help students grow up to a maximum autonomy at adult age. This includes helping them understand the world that surrounds them, acquiring communication skills and will enable them to relate to other people and giving them as much as possible the necessary competence to be able to make choices concerning their own lives, Our main goal is to improve communication skills and achieve that goal. Educational programs are being revised frequently according with the child maturation and progress.
