Special Programs

C. B. Greer Elementary is committed to meeting the needs of all students, and that includes students with special needs. Our Special Education teachers help students learn and succeed.

The Collaborative/Resource team consists of both teachers and paraprofessionals. In addition, services for Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Hearing Impairments, Vision Impairments, and Adaptive P.E. are offered by district-assigned staff once students are identified. 

Our students are taught in the least restrictive environment. Many of our children with special needs receive services through a collaborative model. This allows them to receive support in the regular education setting as the Special Education teacher co-teaches with the regular education teacher. The presence of two teachers in the classroom allows for smaller group instruction and greater levels of expertise and abilities to differentiate learning for ALL students in the classroom.

In addition to the collaborative model, some students benefit from additional resource services in a separate classroom. This placement allows for differentiation and adapted instruction to meet the individual student's needs.
