Special Education

At the Young Men's Leadership Academy, we are committed to ensure that students with disabilities are fully involved in all areas of campus life and make progress in the general curriculum successfully and appropriately as a result of teachers, parents, and administrative staff effectively implementing modifications, adaptations, and/or accommodations.

WE BELIEVE...

Special Education should meet the individual needs of each student and that it should…

• Be based on assessment results
• Consider…
   - Learning rate
   - Learning style
   - Cultural/Ethnic/Linguistic Differences
• Be outcome-oriented
• Be linked to the strategies and curriculum of the general education classroom
• Be monitored regularly and modified when necessary
• Create a level playing field for all students
