SAIL Program

SAIL is an educational K-12 program serving students who require moderate to intensive instruction and aims to provide all students, regardless of disability, an educational program in a supportive environment that meets the student's individual needs. Elementary, middle, and high school classrooms can accommodate eight students and are led by a licensed intervention specialist and supported by qualified aides.

Staff Philosophy:
The most effective way to educate children is through a multi-methodological approach. All students should have access to the Ohio Academic Content Standards, including the Extended Standards. Curriculum materials should be modified to progress student learning. Skill development is imperative to student success: attention, imitation, communication and language, social relationships, symbolic play, imagination, self-regulation, and fine/gross motor. All behavior has a communicative purpose and it is our responsibility to assess and strive to determine the communicative intent of each behavior. All students should be respected as intelligent individuals and be challenged to meet their fullest potential.  Families need to be active partners in their child's education process. Vocational education is an important part of educational programming. Community participation, involvement, and awareness are essential for student success.
