Students placed in the Intensive needs Classrooms have significant deficits in the areas of communication and behavior.  Often students have a diagnosis of autism, although that is not necessary to be considered for the program Usually students also have high needs in the sensory area, and require sensory integration treatment.

Typically there are not more than 6 students per class assigned to one teacher and 2 assistants.  Related services include speech/language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy and adapted physical education.

Active learning occurs in the Intensive Needs Classroom throughout the day.  Individual student objectives and lessons are often presented using structured teaching methodology and visually mediated instruction. Least restrictive environment is always considered and when possible, students have opportunities to participate with peers in other classes.

The Intensive needs Classroom Programs are open to students in any school district in Greene County on a space available basis by referral from a student’s district of residence.
