Individual student needs in areas such as communication, mobility, motor control, vision, hearing, cognition and/or fragile health are addressed by each student’s interdisciplinary team.

From preschool to high school, small and supportive class groupings offer remedial and compensatory instructional strategies and integrate a full array of specialized services.
