At our inclusive school, if a child is determined to possess support learning needs, whether by parents submitting their developmental pediatrician's diagnoses or by our teaching team's observations, we employ inclusion support specialists to provide push-in support to the homeroom teacher within the classroom setting. Our specialized program also employs in-house speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists, who will recommend a twice-weekly (or more, if necessary) schedule to pull-out students for their therapy sessions within the school setting.
