Special Needs Children

Classroom teachers develop program accommodations and modifications through Individual Education Plans to meet the needs of all identified students within their regular classrooms. Children who require resource assistance are intergrated within their regular classrooms. The Classroom Resource Teacher (CRT) works directly with the child in the classroom or assists the child's teacher in adapting program requirements.
