Who We Are

The Augmentative Learning and Movement Center’s (ALMC) staff of experienced professionals is dedicated to developing, implementing and supporting comprehensive educational, medical and therapeutic interventions. Our shared commitment drawn from experience in special education has led to the development of our team at the ALMC.

We have 3 locations serving Vermont in Morrisville, Enosburg, and Williston.

Our staff includes:
  • Educators
  • Special Educators
  • Clinical Behaviorists
  • Speech and Language Pathologists
  • Occupational Therapists
  • Medical support by a Developmental Behavioral Pediatrician
The ALMC staff believes programs for children with developmental disabilities must be:
  • Comprehensive and collaborative
  • Therapeutic programs that are evidence based
  • Based on individual programs that reflect each student’s learning abilities and skill levels
  • Goal-driven by data collection and on-going monitoring
  • Practical and functional for the purpose of achieving life generalization of skills
  • Professionally accountable for ALMC programs

The ALMC provides educational and therapeutic services as well as behavioral medicine for individuals with developmental disabilities with a special focus on Autism. We work mostly in local school districts as well as at our specially-equipped and staffed schools.

Basic Operating Principles

  • ALMC considers it a privilege to be chosen to provide services to schools, students and parents. We appreciate and respect the trust and confidence inherent in committing such resources.  We are devoted to delivering high quality and effective programs with an emphasis on increasing local capacity.
  • ALMC is committed to accountability in professionalism, programs, and progress using collaborative processes, current best practices and data-driven decision making.
  • ALMC strives to create respectful partnerships with schools, families and outside agencies by engaging in open and honest communication with all partners.
  • ALMC approaches all services with embedded educational and therapeutic methods delivered in an integrated educational setting. Individualized treatment plans (Academic Support Plans) are based on student profiles, school-team input and data indications.  Programs are developed collaboratively with all disciplines represented, and related services supports embedded into the day-to-day programming.

ALMC Behavioral Medical Component

As a part of our ongoing commitment to make our programs for children with developmental disabilities more comprehensive, the ALMC includes the services of medical practitioner Dr. Dan Larrow.

Dr. Larrow is a board certified Developmental and Behavioral pediatrician. Dr. Larrow assists the team in the development of educational and therapeutic programs. His services can be accessed in local schools and the VDBM office in Williston.

He brings his medical perspective and years of practical experience to our existing team of educators, special educators, applied behavior analysts, speech and language pathologists and occupational therapists.
