About the Campus

Land Park Campus is a non-public school, serving individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder ages 3 to 22 years old. Our educational team is dedicated to the provision of effective, comprehensive services with a caring, respectful, and collaborative approach.

Land Park provides intensive, individualized educational programs developed for each student based on assessments to determine skill deficits, behaviors interfering with learning, and general adaptive functioning. The educational programs have a strong behavioral basis while addressing each individual through wide-ranging programming. Our program structure can be visualized as a pyramid that allows us to treat the ‘whole’ child, taking into consideration physical needs, relational and social-emotional skills, formal communication skills, prerequisite and advanced learning, and academic skills. Our overarching goal at LP is to enable our students to learn to be as independent as possible while achieving program milestones to allow access to the least restrictive educational setting.

Kadiant Land Park’s Services

ABA Services

The Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) based educational program at Land Park is a unique and successful program, providing access to learning for each student, despite any challenges the student may have previously faced in a former school environment. Our overarching goal is to provide our students the right environment and teaching approaches to learn and be as independent as possible, while achieving objectives and milestones to allow access and success in the least restrictive educational setting.

Occupational and Speech Therapy

Occupational Therapy is available, (as approved), for students enrolled at our Land Park Campus. Occupational therapy helps people participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Common occupational therapy interventions include helping clients participate fully in social situations and interact with family members to obtain their needs.

Speech Therapy is available, (as approved), for students enrolled at our Land Park Campus. Speech therapy works to prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders. Speech therapists work with clients to improve speech and language capabilities through a wide array of speech and behavioral health treatments.

Program Placement

Placement of students at Land Park will be made through the joint cooperation of each student’s home district, the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) Team, and Land Park. All students attending Land Park will enter with the ultimate goal of transitioning to a less restrictive environment. This transition will occur when the IEP Team reaches consensus that the student has achieved the agreed upon goals and possesses the skills to potentially be successful in another setting.
Land Park (LP) is a non-public school serving children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), ages 3-22 years. We are a team of individuals dedicated to the goal of providing caring, comprehensive services with a commitment to a collaborative approach. Please take time to review the qualities which make LP a unique learning environment, including:
Providing Services to Sacramento Valley School Districts.
  • Onsite Occupational and Speech Therapy
  • 1 : 2.5 Student to Staff Ratio
    • Additional Adult Support available as required/agreed upon
  • Transportation Available by Special Arrangement
  • Positive Intervention

The school is funded by the school district in which the child lives.  The school resides in Sacramento, California and there are a number of school districts surrounding the Sacramento area which although they may have their own programs to serve children diagnosed with autism may not have the specialized skills to fully treat a child diagnosed with autism.  We utilize the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) to assess, monitor, and as a result progress the child.  The child continues to live with their family in their home and would typically be transported by the school district to the school. As deemed necessary alternative transportation opportunities may be arranged.
