Educational Philosophy

The Special Education Unit (SEU) program is specially tailored to meet the educational needs of students who are deaf and developmentally disabled, ages 3 to 21. Students attending SEU benefit from its highly structured educational environment which integrates the principles of applied behavior analysis and the school's mediated learning approach. SEU staff are skilled in developing, implementing and evaluating the comprehensive interventions our students require. Students participate in New York State Alternate Assessments.

Based on each student's performance profile, an individualized education plan is developed. These plans can cover a variety of areas such as: self-help, socialization, communication, functional academics, job skills, self-control and others. A major focus of the program is eliminating inappropriate behaviors (which may range from mild to severe) and replacing them with behaviors necessary for success in school, home, work and community.

The SEU also offers parents assistance, support and training to help with their child's progress at home.
