SUPPORTS TO COMPENSATE FOR INDEPENDENT FUNCTION
Students must be able to function independently in a one teacher to five student ratio. There are limited spaces available at the school for children who require additional support. In those cases, the additional support must have service provider(s) paid for by insurance or privately by the family. Service providers must comply with the standards of the school and meet with the approval of JLSA. Availability of services provided on site may be limited per student as to not disrupt the school program or schedule.
OCCUPATIONAL AND SPEECH SERVICES
We utilize therapeutic service providers that accept private and supplemental insurance. The school therefore is never in the position of offering reduced services or not recommending services due to financial motivation. Independent service providers also offer a perspective that advocates for the child, not the school, and eliminates any potential conflict of interest.
For Speech and Occupational services, we work with one service provider that works on-site. Utilizing providers from one office will help make communication cohesive, keep the number of people coming in and out of the school small, and allow the person to serve multiple children in one visit to the school. We also want the children to all get to know and feel comfortable with the people visiting the school, since they are sensitive to new faces. While we encourage families to utilize these services, Jordan Lake School of the Arts reserves the right to limit or change services permitted at the school as to not disrupt the program.
