STUDENT SERVICES – AUBURN VILLAGE SCHOOL

 

          We have a pyramid of support services available at the Auburn Village School, beginning with the differentiated instruction and accommodations that classroom teachers provide.

 

               Our second tier of support includes a Response Team, coordinated by our reading specialists, that meets on students that are having difficulty with any area of their school performance.   This regular education team meets to review and gather data, plan and implement interventions, and monitor progress.  This is one of several regular education interventions, and the response team includes the reading specialist, guidance counselor, an administrator, classroom teachers, and others as needed including a speech and language pathologist, occupational therapist, school psychologist, school nurse, or special education teacher.

 

               The reading specialists also provide some direct service to students.

Children that qualify may receive Title 1 math support – Grades 2-8, or 504 supports related to protections for a documented disability.  ESOL or services for children who are identified as English Language Learners are also provided.  We also have an ALPs – Advanced Learning Program – which provides for enrichment activities.

 

               We monitor student progress, and the effectiveness of the interventions.  The third tier is the last component of an RTI -  Response to Intervention – protocol, and is for students who are determined to have an educational disability.  Referrals come from a variety of sources, including parents, and are reviewed by a multidisciplinary special education team.  Only 10% of children should be identified as requiring special education, and we continue to work towards that goal.  These are children who require truly specialized instruction.

 

               We have five special education teachers, speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, a school psychologist, guidance counselors, and a variety of consultants who assist us in providing quality programming for all of our identified students.  Providing a free and appropriate public education is the hallmark of special education. 

 

               We also have two grant funded positions: one supports middle school math – Mr. Chris Gagnon, and the other is a Support Coach and Consultant for identified students – Mr. George Kalipolites.
