There is a full time special needs teacher and a classroom aide in each room. Children who may have such disabilities as autism, PDD, down syndrome, angelmen's syndrome, cerebral palsy, language disabilities, etc. are included in the classes. Consultants specializing in the child's disabilities work with the staff and parents to provide on going training. At the kindergarten level we have a developmental language based class. There is a teacher and instructional aide.
Students attend a half day for five days per week.
Children who have completed our Pre-K program , but who are not ready for a traditional kindergarten curriculum because of their special needs, may receive their education in this program. Resource rooms are provided in all of the elementary, middle, and high school buildings. Students who have a disability in reading, spelling, written expression, or math are provided with small group instruction. Students attend classes for any of these subjects. For the other subjects in the elementary schools, children are in either regular education classes with no special support or they can be in inclusion classes with a regular education teacher and an aide or special education teacher.
