Coudersport Elementary School
The Enrichment Program is designed to provide challenge for and meet the needs of mentally gifted students. Activities and units of study are presented in various subject areas. Overall goals include enhancing student self-esteem; building leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, and applying higher-level thinking skills.
The speech-language support program provides specially designed instruction for students who have difficulties in communication skills. Areas of difficulty which can be addressed include: articulation (specific speech-sound production), language skill development (form, content, and use), voice quality, and fluency (stuttering). One on one or small-group instruction is provided in the speech therapy room setting or within the child's classroom, depending on which arrangement best meets their individual communication needs.
The Primary Resource Room presents students, whose expected levels of achievement will vary, with an atmosphere conducive to individualized level learning. Reading, Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, Health, Writing, and Socialization Skills are in areas in which educational goals are developed. This program is designed to help students, who require special services, develop their knowledge and skills.
The Intermediate Learning Support Room presents students, whose expected levels of achievement will vary, with an atmosphere conducive to individualized level learning. Reading, Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, and Science are the main areas in which educational goals are developed. This program is designed to help students, who require special services, develop their knowledge and skills. Learning support students are to be included in regular education whenever possible.
The Life Skills Support class serves students with overall delays who require multiple hands-on experiences for mastery to occur. Instruction is given individually or in small groups and students participate in specials with their peers. Students are taught life important skills in a functional setting.
The Emotional Support classroom is an individualized, highly-structured program for students with severe social and emotional disabilities. These disabilities can result in slowed academic growth and limited social interaction. Therefore, the main goal of the program is to achieve acceptable social and behavioral skills. Attaining these skills will allow the students to experience academic growth and enable them to function in socially acceptable ways.
The scope of physical therapy services within education is directed toward assisting a student with a disability to participate in and benefit from his or her individual education program though the use of intervention strategies and specially designed instruction created to meet the student's individual needs.
Occupational therapy in the education setting is directed toward assisting students with disabilities to participate in and benefit from his/her individual education program. Occupational therapy provided as a related service must relate to the student's education goals and enhance the implementation of those goals.
The Hearing Support Program provides several services to a school district and its students. From initial screening assistance to special instruction, the hearing teacher is available as a "second opinion" to the school nurse before a student is referred to an audiologist. If a child shows a significant loss and difficulty in classes, special sessions are set up to provide auditory, speech, reading, and language instruction. Depending upon the severity of loss and need, intervention can range from consultation to inclusion in a resource room.
The Vision Support Program provides services to children who are blind and/or visually impaired. Children who qualify must have a visual field of less than 20 degrees and/or 20/70 or worse in the best eye with correction.
