Daily Life Therapy and Autism Ranking:

History

The Boston Higashi School was founded in 1987 in Boston by Kiyo Kitahara, a Japanese educator, who had developed a method for teaching autistic children. She developed this method (daily life therapy) at Musashino Higashi Gakuen, a private school for children with special needs in Tokyo, which she also founded in 1964.

The school in Boston has since moved to Randolph in Massachusetts. Since then some of the principles developed by the Boston Higashi School have been adopted elsewhere, including the Horizon School in Rugeley in the UK, which is owned by the Priory Group.
