Program Overview

Eligible students are served as young as three and up to twenty-one years of age. Our schools offer programs to serve students who need extended instructional time in a special education settings.
The following resource programs are offered in all our schools:

Student identification procedures, achievement testing, programming instructions and flexible scheduling require the participation of all school personnel.
