Our students exhibit severe/profound cognitive delay, physical handicaps, and complex medical conditions, requiring total personal care. We implement a Transdisciplinary Model. Teachers/therapists work on learning objectives together. Our school community is representative of many races and cultures. Our Outdoor Classroom Sensory Healing Garden adds to learning space, providing access to green activities and outdoor physical movement.
