The ID-Mi (Intellectual Disabilities-Mild) class serves significantly below average general intellectual functioning students. These students have also been identified as having deficits in adaptive behavior which affect educational performance. Deficits in adaptive behavior include deficits that significantly limit the students’ effectiveness in meeting the standards of maturation, learning, personal independence or social responsibility, expected of a child his or her chronological age. This is measured and determined by clinical evaluation. The
I.Q. score, as measured by a qualified psychologist, along with multiple
other sources of information and assessment data, are used to determine
eligibility. The
program is designed to enable the students to function as independently as
possible after completing high school.
The classes are set up to prepare the student in the following
skill areas: academics, social, physical, vocational and leisure.
The skills are introduced in the school setting, some practiced in
the community setting and hopefully transferred to various appropriate
settings.
