Individualized, evidence-based education grounded in the science of teaching, helping every scholar build the skills, confidence, and independence to make meaningful choices and lead a fulfilling life.
Foundry 8:1:3 is a 12-month specialized educational program serving scholars with autism spectrum disorder and related developmental disabilities. Grounded in the science and principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we provide individualized, evidence-based instruction designed to help each learner make meaningful progress in academics, communication, social-emotional development, executive functioning, and independence. We believe every scholar deserves more than a seat in the classroom. They deserve meaningful opportunities to learn, grow, and lead.
We continually refine instruction to fit the learner, using each student’s strengths, needs, goals, and progress to guide teaching.
ABA & Data-Driven Teaching
The science and principles of ABA guide how we teach, measure learning, analyze progress, and make instructional decisions.
Fluency & Generalization
Learning is developed beyond initial mastery so that skills become more accurate, efficient, durable, and useful across people, settings, materials, and experiences.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration
Educators, Board Certified Behavior Analysts® (BCBAs®), related-service providers, and families work together to support coherent instruction and meaningful progress.
Academic Growth • Social Development • Vocational Readiness • Independence
Foundry 8:1:3 is designed as a developmental continuum. As students grow, instruction evolves with their strengths, needs, and long-term goals—from building academic and social fluency to applying learning in community, vocational, and increasingly independent settings. Across stages, the expectation remains the same: meaningful instruction, continued growth, and increasing independence over time.
The program day includes opportunities to learn individually and with peers, create, move, communicate, build relationships, and apply skills beyond a single lesson or setting. Academic instruction is complemented by adapted physical education, creative arts, social-emotional learning, related services, and community-based experiences.
Foundry 8:1:3 is designed for learners who are ready to engage in meaningful instruction but require sustained, systematic teaching and individualized support to make progress, build fluency, and increase independence.
