ERA Donates to the Janus Academy

The Janus Academy Receives a Laptop to Benefit their Adult Day Program in Calgary

The Janus Academy was established in Calgary in 1997 to operate as an accredited, independent, non-profit school to meet the unique educational needs of school-aged children with autism. The mission of the Janus Academy is to maximize the potential of each child with autism by enabling academic success and facilitating lifelong community integration.

They specialize in providing an educational approach that is based on the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis within structured individualized instruction and small group teaching sessions. Each student’s program is based upon an individualized Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills-Revised (Partington, James W. 2008), adapted Alberta Learning Curriculum, and a Functional Behavioural Assessment for behaviours that may interfere with learning.

Their Vision
To be recognized as a leader in specialized education and the facilitation of lifelong community integration of children and youth with autism.

Their Mission
To empower and support children and youth with autism and their families, maximizing their quality of life by providing excellence in innovative teaching techniques that meet their academic, social and emotional needs.

This donation will go towards their adult day program so that the teacher can teach individuals within the class necessary computer skills for the future. We wish them all the best!
