At Frey Elementary School we have several programs that are designed to meet the needs of a variety of special needs learners. These programs include: Interrelated Resource, Self-contained Learning Disabilities, Self-contained Emotional Behavior Disabilities, Severe/Profound Intellectual Disabilities, Special Needs Pre-School, Speech and Language Disorders, and Pre-School Speech and Language Disorders.
Interrelated Resource
The Interrelated resource program at Frey
serves children with a wide variety of mild handicapping conditions. Children
who are served in this program can have an eligibility in the area
of Learning Disabilities, Emotional Behavior Disabilities, Other Health
Impairments, Mild Intellectual Disabilities, or mild Autism. They
are served in either a pull-out program or an inclusion program depending
on the severity of their disability. They can be served for as many
as three hours a day and for as little as consultation.
Special Needs Pre-School
This program serves children who are between
the ages of 3 and 5. They have a variety of disabilities. Most
are served under the label of Severely Developmentally Delayed. This
unit is a mild moderate unit, meaning that the students are in the
mild or moderate range of functioning. The program has two half day
classes. Each class meets four days a week with the fifth day dedicated
to home visits and parent in-services.
Speech Language Program
Frey's Speech-Language programs have grown
along with the schools' population. The scope of services provided
range from evaluations through consultation, inclusion, and resource therapy
for students diagnosed with communication disorders in the areas of voice,
fluency, articulation, phonology, and language. For students whose
language problems are severe enough to require more intensive therapy,
referrals may be made for consideration in the Sever Language Program,
a self-contained unit housed at a nearby school.
