Services & Programs

In-Class Support: Elementary

In-class support is a team of general and special education teachers and paraprofessionals collaborating within the general education classroom to provide specially designed instruction and accommodations for students with disabilities, ensuring they have access to the general curriculum. 

Co-teach: Secondary

Co-teaching is an instructional approach where a general education teacher and a special education teacher jointly plan, instruct, and assess a mixed-ability classroom of students, including those with disabilities, to ensure greater access to the general education curriculum and specialized support. 

**At the secondary level, in-class support is only offered for science and social studies classes. 

SLC (Structured Learning Classroom)

SLC is a self-contained program for elementary, middle, and high school students who require more significant sensory interventions and a focus on "ready to learn" behaviors along with structure, support, one on one instruction for new skill acquisition, behavioral interventions, and communication interventions other than those found in a typical special education setting.

Resource

Resource refers to a resource room, a specialized learning environment where students with disabilities receive targeted, one-on-one or small-group instruction from a special education teacher. These rooms provide a structured yet flexible space for students who spend most of their day in general education classes but need specialized support for their unique learning needs, as outlined in their Individualized Education Plan (IEP).

BEST (Behavioral Emotional Social Skills Teaching)

BEST is a structured behavior support program for elementary, middle, and high school students. This program supports students with significant behavioral, emotional, or social skill deficits BEST focuses on embedded instruction, reinforcement, and tiered supports. 

Structured Life Skills

The children who receive Life Skills services are those who have moderate to severe developmental disabilities, whose Individual Educational Program (IEP) requires significantly off-level and modified, functional academic instruction, and who need additional instruction in daily living skills. For some, performance is significantly affected by more than one disability. Students range in age from 5 - 22 years and are served on elementary, middle and high school campuses.
