Elementary Aspergers Services

http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/specialed/parents/services/schoolage-elementary.aspx#esaspergers

The Elementary Aspergers classes are based in comprehensive elementary school buildings. Students served by this model have a diagnosis of Aspergers Disorder. The students function in the average to high average range of intellectual ability and receive instruction on the general education curriculum, with enrichment as appropriate. Students have documented social and behavioral needs that have significantly interfered with their ability to participate in other educational environments, despite a variety of special and individualized supports. Initially, students receive their academic and social skill instruction within the Aspergers classroom with an eventual goal of the student being included for the academics in the general educationclassroom. Autism staff, in collaboration with the transdisciplinary team and a school-based counselor, integrates social skills teaching and generalization opportunities throughout the instructional day. Social skill groups, class units, and direct individualized teaching are utilized to provide students with strategies for acceptable behavior. Individual and classroom motivation systems reinforce appropriate social behavior across the school day.
