The Westchester School is a New York State approved, non-public school that provides educational and therapeutic services to students from New York City, Westchester County, Long Island, and Connecticut.
The program provides services to students, ages 3-21, with the classifications of Autism, Intellectual Disability, Multiple Disabilities, Orthopedic Impairment, and Preschool Student with a Disability.
The Westchester School is an ungraded, self-contained program
with a student to staff ration of 12:1:4 in the school-aged
classrooms and 10:1:2 in the preschool classrooms. The school
provides Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech and
Language Therapy, and Psychological Counseling as per each
student's Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The majority of
students enrolled in the school-aged program are diagnosed with
cognitive impairments that preclude them from taking state exams.
For this reason, the school's certified teachers create learning
experiences that are relevant to each student's IEP and special
emphasis is placed on functional academics, daily living skills,
socialization, and pre-vocational skills. Teachers collaborate with
therapists and administration to create a multidisciplinary
approach when working towards realistic, yet challenging goals to
motivate, without discouraging, students. In order to provide
structured education for our students, the program utilizes
components of the TEACCH model along with select components of ABA.
In addition to the related services listed above, the school also
has three full time behavior therapists and two full time nurses on
staff.
