The Day School at The Children's Institute provides quality services to students with complex and severe disabilities who possess different levels of physical, cognitive, and emotional functioning. Individualized programs are developed for each student and are reviewed periodically by a multidisciplinary team, including school district representatives and parents or guardians. Students are prepared to return to regular or special classes in their own communities. The focus of the curriculum is on skills students need to be successful in The Day School, other school environments, the home, and their local communities.
Emphasis is placed on functional academic and life skills goals at all levels.
The school offers students the support of assistive devices and a total communication approach when needed to assure the opportunity to participate in the program at their level of ability. Computers are readily available in classrooms for student use.
