Project Headway: An inclusion preschool program that is designed to meet the needs of children with global delays and those children on the autism spectrum. In order to qualify, a child must have developmental delays in two or more areas.
Bridge Programs: Grades K-8
The Bridge Program was originally created as a behavior-based program designed to serve the needs of children with autism who have moderate to severe needs. Over the years it has grown into a program that, in addition, endeavors to serve the needs of children with more global delays as well as those students who are mostly mainstreamed.
When your child is assigned to Bridge, he or she is also assigned to a mainstream classroom where, depending on individual goals and needs, they will spend portions of their day. Some children are able to be almost completely mainstreamed and Bridge functions as a resource room. Others receive 1:1 attention in the Bridge room outside of the mainstream classroom via 1:1’s or Special Education Assistants. The Special Education Assistants are overseen by one Special Education Teacher.
The Compass Program: Grades K-12
(formerly Social Skills and TSP/Links)
There are programs at Edgartown, Oak Bluffs and later at the high school. The majority of time is spent in inclusion classrooms.
The Navigator Program: Grades 9-12:
(formerly Life Skills)
The Voyager Program: Ages 18-22
(formerly the Transition Program)
Fun Club Program: Fun Club is an after-school program designed to meet the social skills needs of children in a small-group environment. It is funded by a grant and is available as needed at different schools.
