This program is housed at Boys Republic. Fairview Early Childhood Center and some classrooms at William Grace services all identified handicapped students from 3 to 5 years of age. Homebased instruction is coordinated through our Child Find Program to eligible students 0-3 years of age. All special education categories are accommodated. Ancillary services are provided for occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech and language, and social work.
Parent training is a significant component.
The nature of the service is determined by individual needs. The speech pathologist may work directly with the student and with the student's classroom teacher. An adaptive program which parallels the general education course offerings is available for the mildly retarded students, severe LD students and low functioning EI students. The curriculum emphasizes pre-vocational training and preparation for work in the community. The program is housed at Farmington High.
