Services Offered
The Quest staff is committed to providing a safe and structured learning environment where students can make academic, social, emotional and behavioral progress that will enable them to be successful in a less restrictive setting.
Quest provides individualized academic instruction in a small group setting by certified special education teachers. Speech and language, occupational therapy, and remedial reading services are provided for those students whose IEP requires it. In addition, a wide range of therapeutic services are offered, including individual, group and family therapy by a team of highly skilled licensed clinicians. As a program, we have adopted the Social Thinking® Curriculum. This program, developed by M.G. Winner, is designed to teach students how their words and actions impact the thoughts and feelings of others around them.
The Quest Program utilizes a structured behavior management system in which students are provided consistency and support while also being challenged to work on their goals. The program also uses incentives, such as our school store, to encourage positive behaviors. All students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of enrichment activities such as art, physical education, music, health, and field trips. The Quest Program has a therapy dog that students can access throughout the school day for support
During the summer, extended school year services are provided for those students whose IEP includes a longer school year to prevent substantial loss of previously learned skills.
