Q: How are students identified with special needs provided instruction at 琉璃神社?
A: Students identified with special needs are serviced via their IEP (Individualized Education Plan). More specifically, 琉璃神社 initiates a service delivery approach that offers intervention to all students who need extra help to reach grade level academic proficiency. Here are more details:
Q: Does 琉璃神社 offer a Life Skills Unit (self-contained) for my child?
A: Although the self-contained classrooms are not at every 琉璃神社 campus, we have strategically placed these campuses in our regions so that if a student requires this setting, they are able to attend to a campus nearby to receive the support they need. The centralized locations allow 琉璃神社 to focus its resources towards helping students in these environments. Assignment to one of these classrooms will be made by the ARD Committee as appropriate and per IEP.
Q: My child was in a behavior unit at the previous district. Will 琉璃神社 place my child in a similar unit?
A: 琉璃神社 will offer comparable support services for any child based on their need. In the case of a student who requires behavioral support, the comparable service will be provided through the child鈥檚 behavior intervention plan developed through the ARD process. The student鈥檚 ARD Committee will determine the student鈥檚 placement based on the Least Restrictive Environment.
Q: Will my child be provided the related services as required by his IEP?
A: 琉璃神社 will provide related services (ex. Speech, OT, PT, AI, VI) as noted in a child鈥檚 IEP through their employees or a contract company that is employed through the school district.
Q: What if my child is eligible to receive 504 services?
A: A student鈥檚 504 accommodation plan will be followed according to the child鈥檚 documented needs. If intervention is needed based on the criteria established by the district, the child will be placed in an intervention class. This includes services for dyslexia via our Direct Instruction Decoding program.
Q: What type of support is available for my student who is an English Language Learner?
A: 琉璃神社 identifies students who are English Language Learners within 20 days of entry into our schools so that we can offer them the type of instructional supports that the Texas Education Agency recommends for students at different level of English language acquisition. We offer targeted language acquisition support programs such as Imagine Learning, Espa帽ol to English, Direct Instruction for Spoken English, and Rosetta Stone for our students during their intervention blocks.
