STEPS (Structured Teaching, Educating Prepared Students)

Program Model
The Elementary STEPS Program classroom model is based on the premise that early intervention is effective in identifying strategies to offset the impact of educational disabilities on young children. The belief that high expectations can lead to greater successes underlies the program planning and teaching activities. All of the staff members working with a child share techniques to address individual goals and objectives. These are integrated into the learning environment.
