SDSA’s core principles and practices have made us Arizona’s leading school for children
with autism.
We are committed to educating children with autism spectrum and related disorders through
the evidence-based practice of applied behavior analysis (ABA), the most proven and promising
methodology available today. Our passionate team of staff and faculty regard the education of
children with autism as their vocation, not just a job.
- We believe that every child, regardless of ability, has the right to an individualized and
effective education in a setting where their dignity is upheld and their unique strengths
and interests are encouraged.
- We teach skills that promote meaningful and lasting change for children and their
families.
- Our comprehensive program includes instruction in all academic areas, as well as
instruction in vocational and life skills.
Loving, passionately driven people with a desire to serve people with disabilities and their
families are the perfect candidate for a Lead Teacher at St. Dominic Savio Academy.

- Monitoring student progress using Catalyst, a web-based data collection tool
- Updating parents on their child’s progress

- Leading daily morning meetings with your classroom team-we don’t think one day can
