Over two decades of autism research have shown that early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) combined with the prompt, evidence-based, and effective intervention will result in the best possible prognosis for children with ASD. But as a parent, do you know what to look for in an Early Childhood Development Program? In the latest Westview blog post, Dr. Carol Harrison, The Westview School principal, breaks down the key ingredients in a successful early childhood development program.

The Westview School is excited to announce that our 2021 Fundraising Luncheon is Going to the Movies. The Development Department did some brainstorming. How do we fundraise during a pandemic? What are our options for in-person but still socially distanced event? Can we do something different? Westview creativity and outside-the-box thinking reigned supreme. Save the date for Friday, March 12, and make plans to join us at Moonstruck Drive-In Theatre located at 100 Bringhurst Street, Houston, TX. All families, children included, are welcome and encouraged to attend this free event to raise money for The Westview School. Families and friends of The Westview School can expect dinner and concessions delivered to your vehicle while viewing Disney's new release "Raya & The Last Dragon." We are so excited to be hosting this event and will be sharing more details in the next few weeks. Official invitation to follow. Email jmoring@westviewschool.org to RSVP. #thewestviewschool #houstonprivateschool #houstonautism #houstonnonprofit #autismprivateschool #autismnonprofit

Westview LOVES our grandparents! Today, our students were able to connect virtually and celebrate them! What a special time for our students' to give grandparents and special family friends a glimpse of the great learning they are doing here at The Westview School. It was amazing for our students to virtually welcome grandparents who typically, due to geography, would not attend our in-person event. Grandparents from Canada and Mexico and even as far as Scotland, England, and France were able to join online. #thewestviewschool #houstonprivateschool #houstonautism #houstonnonprofit #autismprivateschool #autismnonprofit

Are you “yeti” for a new year? Mrs. Walker’s Lower Elementary put pen to crafty paper and declared some pretty great goals for 2021. Sam had his to share, “I will have small reactions to small problems. If I’m feeling frustrated, I can take a break or practice deep breaths.” And, Miss Ruby has some extra motivation, “This year I want to learn to tie my shoes. Then I can get get the pretty pink hi-tip shoes!” #thewestviewschool #houstonprivateschool #houstonautism #houstonnonprofit #autismprivateschool #autismnonprofit

Hip Hip Hooray! Upper Elementary Shayan is Out of this World. Shayan has adjusted well to the expectations of Upper Elementary. He comes in each day with a smile on his face, ready to start his day! He listens well during instruction and works hard to learn new concepts. Shayan follows all classroom rules and is a model student! He has a good work ethic and tries his best every day! He is a caring friend that gets along with everyone. He loves playing with his friends on the playground and making them happy. Shayan is becoming more and more flexible in all aspects. We are so impressed with his success this year! Congratulations Shayan! #thewestviewschool #houstonprivateschool #houstonautism #houstonnonprofit #autismprivateschool #autismnonprofit
