Founded in 1938 through the Omaha Public Schools, J. P. Lord offers programs for students with multiple disabilities. Specific educational and medical needs are met by Lord's professionally trained teachers, nurses and support staff. Students range in age from 5 to 21.
Integration is an integral part of our educational process.
We include community-based learning activities and use reverse integration with area school volunteers who participate in classroom and individual activities several times each week. Thanks to a grant from the Omaha Public Schools Foundation, every classroom now has a new computer and printer which are accessed by students through assistive technology devices and software. Technology for our students has provided them greater opportunities to participate in cognitive, sensory, self-help, and communication programs that are individualized to meet the unique needs of our students.
