Every student deserves the right to receive a high-quality and rigorous education. Children with exceptionalities are no exception to this rule. It is my responsibility to ensure that all students that attend D-PREP have equal access to an education that will help them to become the most independent, functional, and academically competent they can be.
I will provide intervention services when needed, for academics and behavioral support, training to staff, and help teachers differentiate their day-to-day teaching in order to ensure that each student is learning to their highest potential.
