This program is designed for
students with intense management needs who cannot be maintained
in an 8:1:1 setting. The students enrolled have been released
from residential placements or secure detention facilities.
Additionally, students at risk of being placed in these
facilities can be enrolled in this program. The 6:1:1 program
strongly emphasizes community wrap-around services as well as
social skill development. Social work services are provided to
all students at a minimum of 2 x30 minutes/weekly. Instructional
programs are provided within a structured behavior modification
program. Alternative learning rooms and time-out rooms are used
as integral parts of the behavior program component. Staff is
trained in TCI (Therapeutic Crisis Intervention) developed at
Cornell University. The educational curriculum is aligned with
New York State Standards. Students fully participate in the New
York State Assessments. There is a summer component to this
program due to the students' intense management needs. |
