Students served in affective needs center-based programs experience skill gaps that may be related to a variety of special education disability categories including but not limited to Autism Spectrum Disorder, Serious Emotional Disability, or Other Health Impairments. Placement in a center-based program is a special education process determined by each student’s IEP team. Program placement location is selected primarily based on geographic proximity and program capacity at the time placement is needed. The center-based program has dedicated classroom space and staffing in order to provide a safe space for students to access sensory accommodations and adult support for emotional regulation when needed. Students in center-based programs access general education classrooms based on their individual needs. The programming is flexible, individualized, and not entirely self-contained.
