This program is delivered in a small group, self-contained setting with a high ratio of adult support. It is a service-intensive model for students with behavioral and/or social/emotional difficulties. It is designed for students who take the regular NYS assessments and whose social and emotional needs are a targeted focus due to their impact on instruction. Both academics and prosocial skills development are delivered through a solid instructional framework. Proactive and positive behavioral supports are provided through an individualized, whole-child approach, with additional support from Counselors and Positive Intervention Team (PIT Crew) trained in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI), as needed. Individualized emotional, behavioral, and sensory support planning is a key component of this program and may include a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) and a Behavioral Intervention/Support Plan. The program benefits from staff trained in trauma-informed care with restorative approaches that strengthen the fabric of the community.

Additional case management and related services may be added based on the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP). The elementary program includes a multidisciplinary team of providers who work in concert to implement our whole-child approach to learning.
