Special Education

The Leona Group embraces the philosophy of individualized instruction, believing special education students are often best educated in the regular classroom. Special education teachers and para-educators work collaboratively with teachers to provide personalized instructional programs for every child. We understand that early intervention is key to solving learning difficulties. All team members accept responsibility for students and modify, accommodate and adjust teaching techniques and class activities to meet the learning abilities of all students.

The Leona Group special education department supports and monitors programs at all of the school sites. On-site, certified special education teachers provide and monitor services with oversight from the special education department. The team meets monthly for professional development, legal and compliance updates. In an effort to ensure on-site team members are able to maximize their time working with students, the corporate support department:

• Completes state monitoring activities for all of the school sites
• Ensures compliance with state and federal guidelines
• Completes all annual state and federal reporting
• Provides data oversight to ensure proper documentation
• Responds to requests for records
