In 1988, New Jersey was
home to only a few behaviorally-based school programs serving
children with autism. Confronted with the challenge of
securing an appropriate and effective educational program for
their children with autism, a small group of local
families joined with autism specialists to found the
Alpine Learning Group.
Originally housed in the basement of a
local community house, Alpine Learning Group opened the doors
to its first four students in 1989. Over time Alpine Learning
Group's Education Program has grown steadily, and now serves
twenty-eight learners with autism, ages 3 to 21 years at a
permanent home in Paramus, New Jersey. Alpine also serves
families as part of their Outreach Program.
Throughout Alpine Learning Group’s growth,
the organization’s mission has remained constant: to provide
learners with autism and their families comprehensive,
scientifically-validated educational and behavioral services
designed to foster individual growth and personal achievement.
