Our six-week summer program offers students a complete academic program in a more relaxed atmosphere. Related services such as speech, physical and occupational therapy, are continued throughout the summer. Additional field trips and daily swims round out the program. In addition to classroom and special area teachers for art, physical education, computer and library, Mill Neck Manor students have access to reading specialists, a psychologist, a registered nurse, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech and language specialists, school counselors and tutoring services. The State Educational Department has mandated transitional plans for all students 15 years and older.
Transition is a child-centered, lifelong process.
As team members, parents and children will learn advocacy skills that will enable them to be aware of and to exercise their rights. There are counselors, social workers, parent educator, communication specialists, physical and occupational therapists and job coaches to assist in the areas of employment, living options, vocation and education. The Mill Neck Manor Transitional Team is responsible for providing and coordinating educational opportunities and services to facilitate successful transition for each child. The PTA provides programs and events for parents, families and children. In addition to the PTA, an ECC Parent Council was formed to address the specific needs of the parents of our preschoolers.
