Class Sizes

​
P231K provides special classes with ratios of 12:1:1, 8:1:1, 6:1:1, and a specialized 6:1:1 (VB) Verbal Behavior program as well as other ratios for students in full inclusion. 


6:1:1 (VB) Verbal Behavior Program
Verbal Behavior uses the science of behavior analysis to teach skills. Verbal Behavior is typically provided on an individual basis, with a teacher working one-to-one with a child. The program includes teaching skills by breaking them down into smaller steps, positive reinforcement by giving a reward for a correct response and to teach and reinforce speech.

  • One special education teacher
  • One paraprofessional

6:1:1
For students with very high needs in most or all areas including academic, social and/or interpersonal development, physical development, and management. Classes provide highly intensive individual programming, continual adult supervision, a specialized behavior management program to engage in all tasks, and a program of speech/language therapy (which may include augmentative/alternative communication).
  • 6 students
  • One special education teacher
  • One paraprofessional

8:1:1
For students whose needs are severe and chronic and require constant, intensive supervision, a significant degree of individualized attention, intervention and behavior management.

Your child’s IEP may recommend related services one-on-one or in a small group.
