The duration of services is determined through ongoing monitoring of student progress and may vary based on individual student needs.

 The communication plan includes the following:

• an entry letter to families that briefly explains the student's needs and program
• quarterly progress reports included with school report cards that outline student progress
• an exit letter to families that acknowledges the student's progress

Additionally families and/or teachers may request a conference to discuss items of concern.

Family support will certainly add to the success of the program. If your child is placed in the program, please try to:

• be as positive and supportive as possible
• encourage your child to do his/her best and to demonstrate effort and pride in his/her work
• motivate your child by praising his/her accomplishments
• practice the skills being worked on in school at home
