The Timothy School

The Timothy School The Timothy School was established in 1966 as a non-profit school for children with autism.

We are the oldest, non-profit school in Pennsylvania devoted exclusively to the educational needs of children with this disability. From a church school with nine children, six teachers, and many volunteers, the school has grown into a model program emphasizing Structured Teaching, Applied Behavior Analysis, and Positive Behavioral Supports as core components of the instructional program. Each day

, sixty-four children, ages five to eighteen, come to our school from twenty-seven school districts located in five counties within the southeastern region of Pennsylvania. Each year, we conduct orientation programs for resident physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and other professional to further their understanding of the autism diagnosis and what this means for children and their families. We provide community service opportunities for students from local elementary and secondary schools who volunteer to work with our students. We also provide pre-service opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students from six colleges and universities. Visitors have come to see our school from as far as Denbighshire, UK, Modbury, Australia, and Tanzania, Africa.

The countdown to a new school year is on! 💙💚
This week, our teachers and staff are back on campus, two full weeks before our students arrive. They spend these days training, refreshing classrooms, reviewing each student’s goals and preparing every detail so that Day One feels familiar, welcoming and ready.

For students with autism, a smooth start matters. That’s why our teachers put so much thought and preparation into the weeks before the first school bus even pulls up.

Students, we’ll see you on August 31! Your teachers can hardly wait. 🍎

Being a kid means getting in the game! ⛳

The Timothy School students learn recreational skills like basketball and mini golf so they can join in the fun with family and friends at home and in the community. 💙💚

Because learning isn’t only about the classroom. It’s about building the skills to participate, connect and have fun!
