Coolidge Center
Coolidge's
Autistically Impaired center program has 4 classrooms ranging from
grades one through four, organized by student grade level, servicing
students with autism certifications. We have a team room staffed with a
teacher and paraprofessional support to provide assistance with
behavior, small group instruction, support with mainstreaming and
inclusion students, and gross motor break opportunities, as appropriate
for each student.
Each student's goals are individually modified to access the curriculum.
Throughout
all our learning experiences, communication remains our central focus.
Learning experiences range from one on one, hands-on, and group lessons.
Our program also participates in community based instruction activities
to enhance social skills, promote appropriate social behavior, and
utilize functional life skills in the community.
All Center
students are encouraged to participate and join all extracurricular
activities, after school events, and outings with the Coolidge
community.
Ancillary services are available to our students as
recommended by each individual student's IEPC. These services include,
but are not limited to: occupational therapy, speech and language
therapy, social work, and psychological consult services.
