The LASEC Program serves children grades 1-8th whose emotional and behavioral needs adversely impact their ability to function within their home school. The environment is highly structured and utilizes Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. A special education teacher provides instructional experiences that are tailored to the individual needs of the children and are aligned with the Illinois Common Core Learning Standards. The classroom model integrates a social worker to assist in promoting emotional and behavioral growth. A point and STEP system is utilized to reward children for positive behavior, track progress, and gauge a child’s readiness to re-integrate into the general education setting.
