Student Needs:
Students receiving supports
through the TR model at the elementary level have specific disabilities
such as intellectual, severe developmental delay, neurological, and/or
other disability requiring intensive programming.
Overview:
These
are specialized classrooms designed for students with severe
developmental delays, intellectual and/or neurological impairments. Each
student will develop vocational, academic, social/emotional, and
adaptive daily living skills to the maximum of his/her potential.
Students will be integrated into the general education setting to the
maximum extent possible.
Eligibility Criteria:
Students
must be diagnosed with severe disabilities that prevent them from
participating in a general education setting. Severe disability is
considered one in which the current performance of the student is 50%
that of a student of the same chronological age. Students must meet
criteria such as IQ, need for extensive therapeutic
services/interventions (OT, PT, ST, ADL, social), and have a significant
developmental history.
- TR programs are located at Hayden-Mcfadden Elementary School, Keith and Normandin Middle Schools and New Bedford High School
