About our Class!!!

In ALE, we spend our day practicing and learning functional academics, interpersonal communication skills, recreation and leisure skills, domestic maintenance skills, and personal self help skills. We use a model of small group instruction throughout the day to target your individual child’s needs and help them make progress. Students follow an inclusion model for some parts of the day too, such as recess, specials, lunch, and Science.
