Integration Facilitation Program
This Program is for students who are able to spend a portion of their school day in their regular education core classes. They receive support from a special education classroom environment for communication, social interactions, behaviour and academic organization. Often these students present with a syndrome, for example a high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder or a physical or medical disability. All students will meet the Alberta Special Education coding criteria.
GLRR (K-9)
These programs are for students who present with a moderate or severe mental disability and/or a severe multiple, physical or medical disability. The focus for the students is one of personal care and functional life skills. Presently, the classes are divided according to grade level. Students in these classes may spend a part of their day learning functional academic skills, practicing skills in the community, participating in work experience programs, in therapy-based programs and pool programs. Medically fragile students who require nursing service can remain at Crystal Park for grades 10 through 12. All students will meet the Alberta Special Education coding criteria.
GLRR (7-9)
Students are provided with an academic life skills program focusing on reading, writing and math programs that will allow them to get and maintain a job, live on their own independently and take part in leisure time activities. These programs may offer students opportunities for work experience. Students in these programs may present with a mild or moderate mental handicapping condition, a syndrome, a physical or medical disability and/or an emotional/behavioural disability. Students who present with a severe learning disability in the areas of reading decoding and comprehension, as well as math computations and word problems may be considered. (Students who have good reading comprehension but a writing disability may best have their needs met by staying in regular education and having modifications made for how they can present their assignments and tests.) Students in these programs will either continue on to General Learning Resource Rooms at the Composite High or qualify for Knowledge and Employability courses.
