Tobinworld was founded in 1977 by Judith Weber, a woman who encountered numerous trials while attempting to locate adequate and appropriate education for her severely autistic son, Tobin. Taking it upon herself to open a school designed specifically for individuals with these challenges, Judith Weber worked to establish an institution that served not only children, but young adults, as well. Today, Tobinworld enrolls students from ages 5 to 22. With two California locations, in Glendale and Antioch, Tobinworld provides the academic experience that many challenged individuals require.
At Tobinworld, individual attention and positive reinforcement remain paramount. Additionally, teachers work with students on a one-on-one basis to establish comfort, confidence, and trust. Programs also utilize specialized approaches, such as scheduled outings, social interaction time, skill building, and academic learning opportunities. Tobinworld offers students the chance to receive rewards for appropriate behavior through a unique rewards system. Granted special tokens for good behavior, students then gain access to the Rewards Store, which houses games, entertainment, special foods, activities, and music. The Rewards Store has remained highly popular over the years and continues to inspire and motivate overall cooperation and positive interactions between the students themselves and with teachers. In addition, Tobinworld offers a vocational training program which has been well received by special education centers around the country. Aimed at older students looking to gain real-world skills and social confidence, the vocational training program continues to provide students with exceptional opportunities and enhanced self-assurance.weniger sehen
