Admission to Arbor Bay School is based on an assessment of each student's individual needs. We serve a broad spectrum of students, including those functioning at grade level who benefit from the small setting with a combination of students with mild to moderate learning differences. Each class is carefully blended to include students with a range of learning abilities. This philosophy is based on research demonstrating that heterogenous, balanced learning groups help all students succeed.

Each classroom typically contains students who may have:

• Specific learning disabilities
• Speech/language impairment
• Mild motor impairment
• Difficulty with attention/focus
• Developmental issues
• High functioning autism

All students need to be able to function independently in the small group setting.

Our process includes:

• A parent interview
• Review of reports (IEP, Assessments/Evaluations, Report cards, etc.)
• Academic screening
• Shadow days in the classroom (at least two consecutive days)
• Trial placement occurs for 30 days.
