This year has been a huge success for our Special Needs Program. In addition to our designated Special Needs Classroom we have full inclusion of at least twenty students in geneal education classrooms. Additionally, this year, ten of our teachers are continuing their education and are enrolled in a Bachelor's program which will also provide them certification in Special Needs.
Next year promises to be even more rewarding as we develop our program to include some team teaching in classrooms who have children with Special Needs. Team teaching will allow more one on one time with students who need remedial help in areas in which they are challenged. Focusing on the basics and building sound foundations in Math, Phonics, Spelling, Grammer and Creative Writing.
Continuing to raise awareness is an ongoing process within the community. The understanding that children with Special Needs are able to learn. The objective is to make every child the best individual they can become. Too often children with special needs are left at home and never engaged, thereby never being able to reach for their highest achievements. The staff at ACES is making a difference not only in the lives of these children but in the community as a whole. We continue to educate parents and community leaders about how much these children can learn and do to become productive citizens in the community.
