 "PACTT is an extended family of parents, professionals, & community members working together to help each individual student succeed."

-- Paula Jablonski, PACTT Principal

7101 N. Greenview Ave., Chicago, IL 60626  PACTT Learning Center is a therapeutic day school serving children and young adults with autism.

Students can range in age from 3 to 21. Students and their families live in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. 

The school currently has the capacity to serve 30 students and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 2:1.

Located on the north side of Chicago, the school is housed in an historic home in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Consisting of two buildings, a main house and a coach house, the school also has a large yard and is central to many parks, businesses, and the Loyola Park beach.

At PACTT Learning Center, education is carefully tailored to the needs of each individual student. The PACTT team of teachers, therapists, and families, works to reach the real child hidden behind even the most difficult behaviors with friendship and understanding. 

"We don't fit the children to the curriculum, or to the class. We get to know each child and teach each child."

- Tim Edwards, Director, Program Expansion and Development

 

At PACTT Learning Center, students learn ...

  • To communicate effectively and improve their social, academic, independent living, and vocational skills.
  • With a curriculum designed to meet individual needs:
    Communication and socialization are emphasized. Families are closely involved in the learning process.
  • In an intimate setting: The school is small and friendly, with a student-teacher ratio of 2:1.
  • Through a wide range of activities: While following a tailored curriculum of reading, writing, and math, children also participate in physical education, art, cooking, community outings, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and other activities.
  • Through a multidisciplinary model. The PACTT school and group homes are designed as therapeutic milieu environments.
