Each year we see our Special Needs preschool students work hard to improve their skills. They receive many services such as Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy, and their days are very labor intensive. We are incredibly proud of our students and the gains they make to achieve the final goal of joining an Integrated Classroom in an inclusive setting.
When our year is done, it's time to celebrate out achievements with a proper graduation ceremony! As their first formal school experience, special needs students work toward the goal of achieving placement in an inclusive setting. We discuss how important it is to achieve certain learning outcomes such as acquiring pre-academic skills and expanded use of language to express one's needs. Since we support our students with PBS -Positive Behavior Supports - it's important to earn positive feedback. By celebrating a preschool graduation, we teach the students that their goals were achieved and they have 'earned' this fun event -- they are ready for Kindergarten! We plan to keep these gowns for use year-after-year to make graduation very special. This purchase is an investment in our school's future.
