Each student benefits from an individualized behavior plan, with a focus on academic and social success. In the EH resource room, students may receive extra help on assignments, work on social skills, or counsel with staff. The resource room offers students a safe environment as alternative to undesirable classroom behavior. Behavior management is achieved through positive reinforcement and consequences. EH students may also benefit from inclusion services, when available.
Parental support is essential for school success to students with emotional handicaps.
The EH teacher regularly communicates with parents, and yearly conferences allow interested parties to plan an individual program for each student. Many students with emotional handicaps improve with consistent interventions both at home and at school. Within our special education department, we offer Math, Living Skills, Basic Skills, and Geography. We believe parents and teachers need to work together to help our students grow into responsible and independent adults.
