[QUOTE="buddy, post: 514810, member: 12886"] Compared to what I shared before of some of the other programs, here is the description of this Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) program Target Population: The target population includes students with a medical diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), who need more intensive services than are provided by other programs. Student PROFILE: Students have significant behavioral challenges related to their diagnosis of FASD including: difficulty generalizing information (A STRENGTH FOR Q), sensory overload (HE IS SENSORY SEEKING USUALLY), tactile defensiveness (Q seeks to touch, WANTS TOUCH AND NEEDS IT IN TERMS OF DEEP PRESSURE), impulse control (YES, HE HAS THIS AS DO THE DESCRIPTIONS OF KIDS IN THE OTHER PROGRAMS, slow cognitive pace (WELL IF THAT MEANS HAS DELAYS...THAT IS TRUE, IF IT MEANS HE NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT IN tiny STEPS TAKING A WEEK TO DO WHAT OTHERS DO IN A DAY...NOPE. HE LEARNS QUICKLY WHEN IT IS PRESENTED AT HIS LEVEL), deficits in executive function (CLEARLY YES FOR Q, BUT ALSO COVERED IN OHTERS OF THEIR PROGRAMS), and a marked dismaturity compared to same age peers (AGAIN, TRUE FOR Q BUT TRUE FOR MOST COGNTIVELY DELAYED AND/OR Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) KIDS). The students have a need for a setting which includes a rich staff to student ratio(THEIR WHOLE DISTRICT IS DESIGNED THIS WAY). Customized classroom space is available at <a certain site> (OK AGAIN, THEY SAY THEIR ENTIRE NEW BUILDING IS DESIGNED THAT WAY AND IT IS MENTIONED IN SEVERAL OTHERS OF THEIR PROGRAMS) Program Mission: seeks to provide a supportive environment that stabilizes behavior in order that students successfully master academic, social/emotional, and life-skill goals through individualized interventions, which may lead to reintegration and successful life experiences.
