About the students

This site is designed for educators and family members who support students with significant disabilities.  These students often have complex needs in areas such as communication, health care, behavior support, skill acquisition (e.g., academic, self-help, social, vocational), and generalization. They may experience sensory deficits and motor challenges which require targeted intervention to support their participation in routines and activities. As such, these students typically require extensive services and support to enable them to access and progress in the general curriculum in the context of inclusive environments.

 

Some of these students may need services or supports from disability-specific resources.  Links to such resources are found below.
