Mission Statement
The mission of our school is to create and maintain an environment that will ensure every student will perform to his/her greatest level of independence in the following areas:
    - Functional academics including reading, writing, functional math and pre-       
         employment skills
    - Self regulation of socially appropriate behaviors
    - Spontaneous and assistive communication
    - Activities of Daily Living  
We commit to a comprehensive system of evaluation, planning, and instruction that includes regular reviews of data derived from student performance on alternate assessment tools (Brigance and NYSAA), demonstrated mastery of IEP goals, and gains based on differentiated instruction according to each student’s needs.
Interdisciplinary team meetings enable staff to revise goals and lessons, and to discuss the implementation of different approaches and methodologies This process exemplifies our commitment to using the resources and expertise of the entire school staff and parents to support students.  
We commit to engaging our students in their own learning process to investigate, discover, explore and build on prior knowledge while promoting independence, self esteem and participation.  The targeted use of community based instruction, worksite opportunities, inclusion programs, project based learning, assistive communication devices, and the use of positive behavior supports are a sampling of strategies to support our students.
