Meeting Street takes a team approach – including educators, multi-disciplined therapists and medical staff – to assess and understand a child’s individual needs and to build an individualized program of services to maximize each child’s outcomes. Tuition is inclusive of the personnel and services needed to meet the needs of the individual child.

• Each grade level has a professional and licensed special educator in the classroom to ensure customized, grade-level curriculum modifications that meet each learner’s needs;
• If prescribed by a child’s IEP, a 1:1 aide will be paired with your child throughout the school year, which will increase tuition; and
• If prescribed by a child’s IEP, an Extended School Year (ESY) program is offered during the summer months (8 weeks), Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

• Based on a child’s needs, a team of occupational, physical and speech-language therapists will build an individualized program of skill development, including the use of assistive communication tools and devices, and various equipment needs. Our therapists provide services to students individually, in group settings and at times co-treat with other therapists to integrate their disciplines. Push-in and pull-out therapy services are incorporated into the school to ensure students are fully able to access their learning environment.
• Students have complete access to Meeting Street’s extensive therapeutic resources, including aqua therapy pool; physical therapy gyms; sensory integration rooms; adaptive technology equipment; lifts and adaptive bathroom equipment; and a multitude of equipment and tools to facilitate learning occupational and physical adaptations
• Each student’s progress is monitored daily and regular meetings of each child’s full team are held to review progress toward the goals outlined in the child’s IEP
• Daily, 1:1 feeding assistance for a child with swallowing and/or other occupational difficulties
• Access to a full-time behavioral specialists
• Individualized toileting / 1:1 bathroom assistance, equipment, feeding, and sensory plans, as needed

As part of the screening and evaluation process, a child’s therapeutic team will explore new equipment and technologies to maximize the child’s occupational, physical and speech-language abilities. Examples include:

• Pressure mapping of seated equipment to ensure a non-verbal child is not experiencing discomfort
• Student trials of adaptive classroom chairs and bicycles; gait trainers; power wheelchairs; sensory equipment; standers and walkers
• On-site bracing appointments, allowing a child to be fitted with a new orthotic/prosthetic, or have equipment repaired, during the school day.  Please note this service is offered on a case-by-case basis, depending on the equipment needed by the child.

• All Meeting Street schools employ full-time Registered Nurses (RN) who are trained to meet the varying medical needs of our students
• Access to Meeting Street’s Medical Director during weekly campus visits
