History, Vision,
Mission & Goals
Dr. Renee Terrasi is the director and founder of Peace by Piece
(PXP).
Dr. Terrasi’s vision and mission for
PXP emanates from her
own lifelong struggle with a neurological disability, as well as
foster parent to a child with autism.
Vision
Having a
disability does not automatically hinder an individual’s life
potential; it only alters the “traditional” track. It changes
how some tasks must be taught and accomplished. This is
accomplished by understanding that we all have unique abilities,
distinctive perceptions, quirks and learning styles. These are
the “ingredients” that create us as “individuals”.
Children should
be celebrated for who they are. They should not be made to feel
that they must change to “normalcy”. Professionals and
caretakers who make it a point, to explore and enjoy their world
demonstrate an unspoken reverence. Relationships that are give
and take ultimately develop a mutual respect! It is after all
human nature……. that when we are unconditionally loved,
respected and validified for who we are; we are then eager to
learn.
Mission
The
mission of Peace by Piece is to provide researched based
behavior analytic and educational services to children with
autism and other developmental disabilities; In an environment
that is surrounded with unconditional love, patience, support
and respect; The space and opportunity to bloom, the freedom to
be themselves and the ability to grow into happy, loved,
confident and contributing members of our society.
Our
Guiding Principles
1. Scientifically
proven interventions based on the principles of applied behavior
analysis are the most effective teaching practices.
2. Individualization
to all pedagogical tactics is priority.
3. Treatment
decisions are based on learner’s response to intervention (RTI)
with data graphically displayed and utilized for informed
treatment decisions.
4. Functional
communication is the foundation that supports the development of
all skills and all areas and therefore serves as priority in our
treatment
