The On Cue Program
On Cue is a social pragmatics program for children ages 6-10 who have been diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Planned, systematic instruction will be delivered using visual tools for motivation . On Cue was designed to take the best practices from several different disciplines. Theoretical and practical components of Floor Time, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) are incorporated into the program design. Social stories, role play and fun, engaging activities are a few of the strategies that are employed in groups with a 1 to 2 teacher-to-student ratio.

Group Policies
No changes will be considered
until after the second week of group, unless a safety-related issue
arises, as deemed necessary by Spotlight staff.
Following the first week, a
request for a change of group will be assessed based on the
following criteria: safety concerns, counselor observation,
diagnosis, temperament, sensory needs, parent input, similar
interests and/or age.
Based on the above clinical
assessment, if a change is deemed necessary to support the social
goals of an individual or group, it will occur in the third or
