Help in strengthening visual and auditory processing skills is also included in the Resource Room program, if needed. All instruction is planned to specifically meet each student's individual educational needs. Grading in that subject area is the responsibility of the Resource Room teacher. Children are recommended for evaluation only when other interventions have not been successful. The Child Study Team evaluation is a means of further studying a child's strengths and weaknesses in the educational, social and emotional areas.
Parents receive reports of all evaluations.
Students referred by their classroom teacher are screened by the remedial teacher, and if found to be in need of help are placed in the program provided the space is available. Classes may be offered as many as three times a week and are conducted in groups of one to five children for 30-45 minutes. PL192-193 teachers provide parents and school with written progress reports at least twice a year. These reports list the skills on which the student has been working, as well as a brief written report of the student's progress. These services are provided to our own students in the trailer located outside our gymnasium.
