Education Program Descriptions (top)
AUTISM PROGRAM
The Program for Students with Autism provides support for
students with the diagnosis of autism throughout the disorder
spectrum. Programs are driven by Individual Educational Programs,
with emphasis on social interaction, communication and behavior
management within an academic and vocational exploration format.
Both self-contained and general education integrated services
are provided depending on the needs of the students.
ED RESOURCE
The ED Resource Program provides services to identify emotionally
disabled students who are able to function in a mainstream
setting with minimal support. This support may include individual
student conferences, behavior monitoring, academic support,
teacher consultation, and communication liaison between school,
staff, parents, and private therapists.
LEARNING DISABILITIES PROGRAM
The Learning Disabilities Program is available to students
who have been found eligible for those services. The department
provides small group classes for the core academic courses,
small group Basic Skills classes to support students who participate
in mostly core team classes, and teamed classes with general
education teachers for students who need minimal academic support.
All students in the program have an Individualized Education
Program (IEP) which documents the nature of the disability,
necessary accommodations as well as specific academic and behavioral
goals. |
