Mesa Campus at a Glance
The Mesa Campus includes 7 classrooms, a sensory gym, a multipurpose room, and a secure fenced outdoor play area designed to support academics, Sensory Integration, recreation, social development, and student activities.
The campus extends the A-FITS small-school model into the East Valley while maintaining the same individualized educational framework used throughout our organization.
The A-FITS Program at Mesa
Mesa students have access to FITS Learning™, High Functioning Autism Programming, Functional Academic Programming, Structured Teaching, Individualized Learning Plans, Speech and Occupational Therapy, School Based ABA, Sensory Integration, Social-Emotional Learning, executive-functioning support, FITS Life™, FITS Experience™, FITS Beyond™, FITS Forward™, clubs and enrichment, life-skills development, transition planning, and community and independence development.
Students are not placed into one predetermined academic model simply because they have an autism diagnosis. Programming is developed around the individual student.
Enrollment & Availability
Mesa has generated strong family interest.
Enrollment depends on appropriate program placement and available classroom capacity. A-FITS cannot reserve seats without completion of required admissions and enrollment documentation.
When classrooms reach capacity, families may be placed on a waitlist and contacted when an appropriate opening becomes available.
