Discovery Den is a dedicated, specialized satellite classroom embedded directly within a mainstream school environment. Created by Early Autism Ventures, Discovery Den acts as a supportive bridge, giving children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and developmental delays the individualized attention they need while fostering seamless integration into school life.
In this tailored setting, our multi-disciplinary team uses evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech, occupational, and sensory strategies to help children build essential academic, social, and functional skills in a natural school context.

What Makes Discovery Den Unique?

  • Integrated Mainstream Environment

    Children benefit from the structure of a specialized setup while remaining part of a vibrant mainstream school community.

  • Seamless Skill Generalization

    Learning skills inside a real school setting makes it easier for children to transition into mainstream classrooms and routine peer activities.

  • 1:1 & Group Support

    Tailored instruction that balances individual clinical targets with small-group social interaction.

  • Multi-Disciplinary Collaboration

    Designed and guided by Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs), certified therapists, and special educators.
