SAILS - Structured Academics Integrated Life Skills -ARD (K-8th)
Students with, or suspecting, Intellectual Disabilities, Autism, and/or Other Health Impairments who require a significant level of support and whose needs are best met through a specialized instructional focus on prerequisite skills. SAILS provides small class sizes and direct, intensive, individualized instruction to assist students to acquire, maintain, and generalize skills. Instruction is focused on functional academics, communication, self-help, social interaction, pre-vocational, and behavior skills. The SAILS program typically takes place in a self-contained setting. However, given the student’s needs, the student may access the SAILS classroom on an intermittent basis, which will be determined by the ARD committee. Students typically take STAAR Alternative assessments.
