ABA is a specialized school that serves students with ASD and other behavioral challenges.
(1)

As a private, non-profit, and Category V institution, it offers a high level of support and individualized instruction to meet the diverse needs of learners. Our Mission
Appalachian Banner Academy layers education with therapeutic practices in a nurturing learning environment. We help students with Autism and other developmental and behavioral disorders build necessary academic, social, and adaptive skills, while providing individualized behavioral intervention and support. Our Vision
To create a safe space that will change the way children with ASD live and learn. Our Approach
Appalachian Banner Academy sees behaviors as communication and efforts to connect instead of an inconvenience or hinderance to the learning of others. By approaching the children with compassion and empathy, and their behaviors with researched based practices students can learn to communicate, connect, and behave more appropriately in educational settings and in the rest of their lives. We are committed to providing the right challenges to help our students become confident about learning without feeling overwhelmed. Appalachian Banner Academy is equipped to approach and modify mal-adaptive behaviors. We utilize Registered Behavior Technician training , collaboration with local Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA’s), and educators in small group settings with individualized curriculum and continual growth monitoring . This approach encourages positive behavior and skill acquisition in the classroom.

Today, we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day and honor the histories, cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples—past and present. 🌿

At Appalachian Banner Academy, we believe learning includes listening, respecting different perspectives, and helping our students better understand the people and stories that have shaped our communities and our country.

May today be an opportunity to learn, reflect, and show respect. 🧡

💚 World Mental Health Day | October 10th

Mental health matters for everyone—and for families raising and supporting children with special needs, caring for emotional well-being is especially important.

Today, we recognize the resilience of our students, parents, caregivers, and educators. Support can look different for every family: a consistent routine, time to recharge, celebrating small wins, asking for help, or simply having someone who understands.

At Appalachian Banner Academy, we believe supporting the whole person means caring for emotional well-being, individual needs, and the families who walk alongside our students every day.

Take care of yourself, too. You matter. 💚

☀️ Chalk, Sunshine & Creativity! 🌈

Sometimes the best classroom is outside! Our ABA students enjoyed some fresh air and sunshine while getting creative with sidewalk chalk. From colorful drawings to big imaginations, it was a great way to create, move, socialize, and have fun together. 💙

We love giving our students opportunities to learn and express themselves in all kinds of ways—and a little chalk makes everything more fun! 🖍️☀️
