school serving male and female students ages 6\u201321. CSM is a licensed, non-public educational facility that provides full-day, separate private special education and related services for students with autism.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/csaac.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_1164.jpg\" alt=\"Grad photo\" style=\"float:right; width:360px; height: 300px; margin:0 0 1rem 1.5rem ; border:4px solid #cbb777; border-radius:10px;\"><\/p>\n<p>CSM’s goal is to prepare students for active participation in their communities and future employment. The school implements each student’s IEP through evidence-based instruction, transition services, and related services delivered on campus and in community settings. Programming focuses on functional academics, communication, daily living, social and leisure skills, vocational development, and transition planning.<\/p>\n<p>Classrooms serve no more than seven students, with staff-to-student ratios of 1:2 or lower, based on individual needs, and many students receive 1:1 support. The majority of students are on the autism spectrum, with students who have related disabilities considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with Maryland State Department of Education licensing. Students are placed in classrooms primarily based on age and academic ability.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"section-content\" style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 1rem;\">\n<p style=\"font-style: italic;\">Serving students from Montgomery, Frederick, Washington, Howard, Prince George’s, and Baltimore Counties in Maryland, as well as Loudoun County, Virginia and Washington D.C.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p> <\/p>\n<section class=\"section section-white\">\n<div class=\"wide-container\">\n<h2 class=\"section-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Individualized Learning for Every Student<\/h2>\n<div class=\"section-content\" style=\"text-align: justify; max-width: 900px; margin: 0 auto;\">\n<p>The Community School of Maryland provides a highly individualized educational program designed specifically for students with autism. Every student’s program is guided by their Individualized Education Program (IEP) and focuses on developing academic, communication, social, behavioral, functional, and independent living skills.<\/p>\n<p>Learning extends beyond the classroom through community-based instruction, therapeutic supports, transition planning, and real-world experiences that prepare students for adult life and meaningful participation in their communities.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"program-slider\" style=\"position:relative; max-width:800px; margin:2rem auto; overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"program-slides\" style=\"display:flex; transition:transform 0.4s ease;\">\n<div class=\"program-slide\" style=\"min-width:100%; padding:2rem; background:white; border-radius:10px; box-shadow:0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); border-left:8px solid #cbb777;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#06505c; font-size:1.4rem; margin-bottom:1rem;\">Academic<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color:#555; font-size:1.05rem; line-height:1.7;\">Students at CSM follow the Montgomery County Public Schools curriculum and the Maryland College and Career Ready Standards. Instruction includes group lessons in functional academics and enrichment areas such as reading, math, science, health, cooking, art, and physical education. Most of each student’s day is guided by an individualized schedule focused on IEP goals, related services, and transition and prevocational activities, with scheduled breaks built in to support engagement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"program-slide\" style=\"min-width:100%; padding:2rem; background:white; border-radius:10px; box-shadow:0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); border-left:8px solid #cbb777;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#06505c; font-size:1.4rem; margin-bottom:1rem;\">Community-Based Instruction<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color:#555; font-size:1.05rem; line-height:1.7;\">One of CSM’s primary goals is to help students become active members of their communities. Through Community-Based Instruction, students participate in weekly outings that include functional activities such as grocery shopping, dining out, and recreation. These experiences help students build communication skills, practice appropriate behaviors, and apply skills learned at school in real-world settings that support greater independence.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"program-slide\" style=\"min-width:100%; padding:2rem; background:white; border-radius:10px; box-shadow:0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); border-left:8px solid #cbb777;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#06505c; font-size:1.4rem; margin-bottom:1rem;\">Transition and Prevocational Services<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color:#555; font-size:1.05rem; line-height:1.7;\">Preparing students for life after high school is a central focus at CSM. In the classroom, students engage in structured prevocational activities that build skills such as sorting, matching, counting, fine and gross motor coordination, and task completion. In the Prevocational and Life Skills Center, students practice skills related to retail, office, and restaurant settings, as well as independent living skills. Students age 18 and over may participate in community jobsites one to two times per week.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"program-slide\" style=\"min-width:100%; padding:2rem; background:white; border-radius:10px; box-shadow:0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); border-left:8px solid #cbb777;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#06505c; font-size:1.4rem; margin-bottom:1rem;\">Residential Services<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color:#555; font-size:1.05rem; line-height:1.7;\">CSM offers a community-based residential program for students referred through LEAs, the Autism Waiver, Departments of Social Services, and other public agencies.

Most of each student’s day is guided by an individualized schedule focused on IEP goals, related services, and transition and prevocational activities, with scheduled breaks built in to support engagement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"program-slide\" style=\"min-width:100%; padding:2rem; background:white; border-radius:10px; box-shadow:0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); border-left:8px solid #cbb777;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#06505c; font-size:1.4rem; margin-bottom:1rem;\">Community-Based Instruction<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color:#555; font-size:1.05rem; line-height:1.7;\">One of CSM’s primary goals is to help students become active members of their communities. Through Community-Based Instruction, students participate in weekly outings that include functional activities such as grocery shopping, dining out, and recreation. These experiences help students build communication skills, practice appropriate behaviors, and apply skills learned at school in real-world settings that support greater independence.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"program-slide\" style=\"min-width:100%; padding:2rem; background:white; border-radius:10px; box-shadow:0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); border-left:8px solid #cbb777;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#06505c; font-size:1.4rem; margin-bottom:1rem;\">Transition and Prevocational Services<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color:#555; font-size:1.05rem; line-height:1.7;\">Preparing students for life after high school is a central focus at CSM. In the classroom, students engage in structured prevocational activities that build skills such as sorting, matching, counting, fine and gross motor coordination, and task completion. In the Prevocational and Life Skills Center, students practice skills related to retail, office, and restaurant settings, as well as independent living skills. Students age 18 and over may participate in community jobsites one to two times per week.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"program-slide\" style=\"min-width:100%; padding:2rem; background:white; border-radius:10px; box-shadow:0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); border-left:8px solid #cbb777;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#06505c; font-size:1.4rem; margin-bottom:1rem;\">Residential Services<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color:#555; font-size:1.05rem; line-height:1.7;\">CSM offers a community-based residential program for students referred through LEAs, the Autism Waiver, Departments of Social Services, and other public agencies.
