Skill and Language Development
The Intensive Skill and Language Development Program is designed to meet the educational and communication needs of students while also assisting them to develop adaptive behavior and social skills. An interdisciplinary team of behavior, physical, occupational, speech and language therapists work with classroom teachers and paraprofessionals to ensure that there are frequent and consistent opportunities to learn and integrate skills. Students in the Post Secondary classrooms work part of the day on academic skills and the other part on employment and life skills.
Therapeutic Services Available
Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Counseling, Music Therapy, Art Therapy, Adaptive Physical Education (APE)
Parent Support Program: School-wide functions that include families are planned throughout the school year, including the summer session.
Additional Program Information: Discrete Trials Training is provided to students in this program, where appropriate and is supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
