This Center will provide special education services for children with developmental disabilities including autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities and seizure disorders.

All classrooms maintain a minimum of a 1:3 staff to child ratio. One-on-one assistance is provided to children for whom such help is IEP mandated.

IQ scores for children with hemiplegia seem to follow the same range as the general population. Treatments for hemiplegics cerebral palsy are intended to improve strength and range of motion, prevent contractures, and increase function. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, braces or orthotics, electrical stimulation, medications, and surgery are some of the treatments received by children who have hemiplegics cerebral palsy.

Children will also receive speech and language therapy and special educational services to help with learning differences.Next
