Classrooms for Students with Multiple Disabilities

Students aged 5 and older with global developmental delays and multiple disabilities participate in an integrated curriculum that emphasizes experiential learning. Individualized learning activities are designed to enhance self-help, communication, social and academic skills.

All students receive instruction in art, music and physical education from specialists. Content area teaching in math, language arts, literacy, science, social studies and health are taught within the classroom using a multi-sensory approach.

Each class has a student to staff ratio of 3:1.

Our collaborative teaching model uses the expertise of related services professionals in the classroom, which allows students to use new skills during functional activities in the classroom, under the guidance of their speech therapist, occupational therapist or physical therapist.

Teachers directly instruct students in all areas of social skills learning. Students learn skills to make and keep friends, deal with uncomfortable feelings, and use self-monitoring systems to understand and manage their own behavior.

We also offer classrooms for students with multiple disabilities who need a strong behavioral component, as well as classrooms for preschoolers with multiple disabilities.
