Exceptional Children Program Learning Lab Learning Lab serves Trindale students in grades K-5 who are eligible.
Students go through a referral process and various evaluations to determine eligibility.
Once eligibility has been determined in one of the areas of disability by an IEP committee, the student receives services in reading, math, written language, or a combination of two or three of these areas. The IEP committee consists of the classroom teacher, EC teacher, parents, LEA representative, and many times the school psychologist and other professionals. The goal of the resource teacher is to assist the student in acquiring and applying strategies to help him or her become more successful in the regular classroom. The resource teacher also goes into the regular classroom and works closely with the classroom teacher. In this setting, the student does not leave the classroom, thereby receiving all instruction in the regular classroom along with his peers while benefiting from the presence, support, and assistance of the resource teacher.
