RESOURCE ROOM

The Resource Room is available to any child having special needs which cannot be totally met in the regular classroom. It provides Special Education instruction on a one-to-one or small group basis in the area or areas of the child's special needs. The program aims to create and maintain a supportive environment that will enable students to function with as much independence as possible in their regular classroom settings.

A referral for Resource Room help can be made by anyone (teachers, parents or other) who has specific concerns about a child's academic progress. A PET (Pupil Evaluation Team) meeting is then arranged whereupon the child's needs are discussed, evaluated and testing reported, and a comprehensive IEP (Individual Education Program) is developed. Parents are a very important part of this team.

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Occupational Therapy (O.T.) provides motor development groups to help students who find it difficult to do things such as going down steps, skipping, catching a ball, climbing, turning somersaults, holding a pencil or coloring. Swings, slides, big pillows, scooters and motivating toys are used to help the students improve their coordination at their individual rate of growth.

SPEECH

Speech and Language Therapists provide screening, evaluation, and therapeutic treatment of students exhibiting difficulties with speech sound production, language, voice, and fluency of speech.

SOCIAL WORKER

The Social Worker helps students resolve personal, emotional, and social problems that interfere with their adjustment to school, acting as a liaison between home and school. She provides consultive services to students, teachers and families.
