District   HOME     "Jump Start" PreK Program Preschool Disabilities Program	Scotch Plains-Fanwood Public Schools	Programs / PreK - Grade 4 2007 - 2008 (approved 8/23/07)
	Special Education & Self-Contained Classes The self-contained programs provide small group instruction to classified students who require special education classes for more than half of their instructional day as determined by their Individualized Educational Program (IEP). These programs address the academic, emotional, and social needs of students whose disabilities require subjects replaced in special education classes. These classes provide the students with strategies and curriculum modifications which address their individualized needs so that they may reach their potential. Students are mainstreamed into regular academic and non-academic classes whenever they can demonstrate possible success in such a placement. All special education students are included in as many aspects of elementary school life as possible. At the preschool level, the district provides half-day programs for typical and disabled students. Full-day programs for students with pervasive developmental disorders are also provided. Self-contained programs provide a base for core content instruction with the understanding that students are provided every opportunity to participate in a least restrictive environment whenever the student will receive education / social / emotional benefit.
