Exceptional Student Education

If a student is having academic or behavioral difficulties, a child study is initiated to help meet the needs of the student. 

By collecting assessment and observational data on a student, a team will develop an intervention plan to best meet the needs of the student. A follow up meeting is scheduled to discuss progress and any needs for further interventions.

This program is designed to assist students who need reinforcement of math, reading, and language concepts with the goal of helping all students achieve success in their own classes. A variety of resources are used to help each child reach their learning potential through small tutoring groups. 

Students involved in this program will be pulled from their regular classroom for their tutoring session in the Student Support Room. Scheduled sessions will be determined after discussion with the child’s parents and teacher. 

• Sessions: approximately 40-minutes 
• Cost: $30 per group session (maximum of 4 students) | Individual session: $50

The goal of this program is to assist CCA students to communicate properly and effectively. If a student has already been evaluated and is in need of speech and language therapy, or if a student needs an evaluation, we can meet their needs. 

The $125 evaluation fee includes the comprehensive evaluation, a written report, a review of the report with parents, classroom teacher and the Exceptional Student Education Coordinator. 

If it is determined that the student would benefit from therapy, then the parent, the classroom teacher, the ESE Coordinator, and the Speech and Language Pathologist will work together to determine scheduling. 

• Therapy sessions: approximately 40 minutes 
  • Students will be pulled from their regular classroom during non-academic time for their therapy session. 
• Cost: $30 per group session (maximum of 4 students) | Individual session: $50

An Academic Support Coach (ASC) provides the highest level of individualized assistance offered to a student. The ASC works with the child’s parents, the classroom teacher, staff, faculty, and even church staff to meet the needs of the student and maximize their success. 

Cost: $2,000 per block

Essential Learning Systems (ELS) is used to focus on the very core of learning problems, faulty sensory processing, to capitalize the brain’s ability to develop more fluid pathways for automatic recognition, retention, recall, and information processing — pathways that are usually underdeveloped in students.

Students who benefit from a directed studies approach will receive instructional modules on various life skills, while applying “All Kinds of Minds” strategies. 

Students meet individually as needed to review their academic requirements and have time to work on current assignments with assistance as needed.

Standard classes provide student support in the core subjects of math and language arts, focusing on the same concepts and skills as General Education courses. The differences in the program occur in the method of instruction and in assessment of students. 

This curriculum is taught through a multi-sensory approach, based on the student’s learning profile.
