We provide a variety of inclusive opportunities as we integrate our students into the general education setting when appropriate. The objective is for our students to generalize academic and life skills by utilizing a natural transition into the greater school community. We provide an assortment of inclusive opportunities that are appropriate for each child. These opportunities are individualized to each student’s progress academically, socially and emotionally.
Each student is affiliated with a general education classroom in accordance to their grade level. When appropriate our students have the opportunity to accompany the class to lunch, recess, specials and/or other events (class parties, field trips, etc.) throughout the school year. When suitable, students can be integrated during academic periods with the support of paraprofessionals and general/special education teachers.
In addition, for our students who require more intensive supports, we offer reverse inclusion opportunities where students placed in the general education classrooms push into our Autism program for social groups and to provide positive peer role modeling.
