Learning Disabilities Program

Summit School elementary program offers a 300 minute instructional day in highly structured and nurturing classrooms. Each student works individually on skills identified through his/her Individual Education Plan (IEP). Students receive 100 minutes of Reading and Language Arts instruction daily. They also receive 50 minutes daily of Mathematics, Social Studies, Science and Physical Education. Art instruction is incorporated into the Social Studies and Science periods on a weekly basis.

Students are grouped by age and ability level for instruction. Organizational and time management skills are consistently reinforced throughout the day. Social skills are taught and supported through weekly counseling and the social lunch program. The students participate in the EAGLE Program which is a positive behavior motivation system based on the Character Counts Curriculum and the State of Illinois Positive Behavior Interventional System (PBIS).

Speech Language services and Occupational Therapy are provided as the student's IEP calls for them.
