All of the students in the SDP are taught by special education teachers.
SLD - these students are taught core curriculum by special education teachers; electives are in the general education classroom.
Autism students are in a self-contained classroom with a special education teacher for approximately 83% of the time. Some autism students may have physical education and electives in general education classrooms (depends on the degree of disability).
CBI - these students are in a self-contained classroom, and receive physical education services from a special education PE teacher (Adaptive PE). CBI students integrate with the general education population for assemblies, sports events and lunch.
