What kinds of things will my child work on at Targeted Services? 

Student activities will depend on each student’s individual need. A Continual Learning Plan (CLP) will be written for each child, outlining the specific needs to be addressed. The Targeted Services teacher will work with the child’s classroom teacher to develop the CLP.

Goals in the CLP could include help finishing assignments, assistance in reading, math or writing, developing organizational skills, and teaching of social skills. Direct instruction by staff will be supplemented by educational computer programs which meet the student’s needs.
