[quote=Anonymous]APS has MIPA as a countywide program. At the elementary level especially, this is for the lower functioning students who can still access some academics (but not grade level). Some are nonverbal and use AAC devices. These students could not be served at their home school. Then at the home school there is inconsistency in if there is a self contained option as a homeroom. It varies depending on the need at that particular school so not every school has a self contained class at lower and upper elementary levels. Those students are often on an alternative curriculum and push into gen Ed for specials, lunch/recess, science and social studies. And then you have plenty of students with Autism diagnoses who are in the gen Ed setting all day with support like a co- teacher or assistant in the class, and no pull outs at all. These students can do grade-level work. Just depends on the students needs.[/quote]
