A Commitment to Inclusion in LEA´s

"The Phoenix program was tailored to the areas that my son needed
work or help in. In 2002, he began transitioning back to public school.
At the end of the 2003-04 school year he was fully ready for public school.
He´s in high school now, getting straight A´s and is on the honor roll."

As part of its mission to educate, empower, and enhance the independence of its students and graduates, the Phoenix Center works closely with sending districts to return students back to their neighborhood districts.

Phoenix Centers´ team of inclusion specialists are available to work collaboratively with sending districts to create a positive culture for inclusive transitions. Inclusion specialist will:

meet with parents, the LEA CST Case Manager, and the student, if appropriate;
visit the proposed district setting;
speak with the classroom staff to re-orient them to the returning students needs;
provide advice on organizational structures that might facilitate transition;
consult regarding curriculum, instructional delivery, and program evaluation; and,
accompany the student to the district setting for an agreed-upon period of time.
