Our students receive instruction based on the state’s general education Voluntary State Curriculum (VSC). The Fundamental Life Skills (FLS) curriculum is also implemented to teach students daily living skills. Art, music, physical education, and media/library classes are offered to all of our students.
An individualized aquatics program is provided, unless contraindicated, as a complimentary method to help students access the curriculum. The educational and physical needs of our students are addressed by modifying instructional materials and incorporating resources such as adaptive equipment and augmentative communication devices.
Each student is supported by a multidisciplinary team that also functions as an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team, headed by a special education teacher who serves as case manager. This team is composed of teachers, para-educators, related service providers, health care providers, a psychologist, and other personnel deemed appropriate for the student.
The parents are an integral part of this team and provide input at all stages of decision making. IEP goals are identified for each student to help him/her access the VSC. Our students, as do all students nationwide, participate in an assessment program that has been developed by the state of Maryland and aligned with the VSC to meet the federal requirement of No Child Left Behind.
Each of our students is eligible for transition services by the time the student is fourteen years of age. These services consist of a set of coordinated activities and linkages to community resources that prepare the student for the transition from school to adult living.
