Linwood School Program
Our school program provides instruction and positive behavioral supports in classroom settings as well as vocational training and related services. Our students are taught self-care, independent functioning, community-based skills, recreation and leisure, and other functional skills that are necessary as they transition into adulthood and community living.
Instructional Strategies
Customizing Teaching To Meet Individual Needs
Linwood School employs a variety of woven techniques, all individualized to meet each students needs. Our strategies include individualized and group instruction, language stimulation activities, incidental teaching, sensory integration, visually added instructions, and the use of technology. All strategies used are consistent with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a discipline devoted to understanding behavior and the variables to which it is related. One of the goals of ABA is to bring about improvements in behavior and the quality of life that are significant to the individuals involved.
School Calendar
Admissions
Linwood provides a healthy school lunch and breakfast, as prescribed by the USDA, for any student who wishes to partake. Each meal consists of a meat or a meat alternative, vegetables, fruit, whole grains, fruit juice and milk. Due to the relatively small size of our student enrollment, we cannot offer a la carte meals, but try to accommodate the needs and preferences of the individual students.
