This is especially true when it comes to isolation, which can become even more challenging over time than the diagnosis or disability itself.

Toddlers can play together without a lot of guidance or assistance.

At ACCEL, an incredible team of dedicated teachers know how to accommodate different learning styles in the classroom to help their students with special needs. Click to learn more.

All children learn in different ways and a successful teacher will approach the educational experience of their students using many different methods to meet these needs. While one child may respond better to visual information, another may learn best audibly.

 

It’s also important to note that though every child learns best in a different way, being exposed to many different types of learning helps the child exercise and work on learning in areas that may not be their preferred method.

At ACCEL we believe in the philosophy of constant improvement, growth, and learning, especially when it comes to incorporating proven and well-researched methods to improve the overall experience for our students.

Evidence-based practices allow us to better meet the needs of all of our students.

Every year, millions of dollars of research is invested to discover and develop ways to help children with special needs be as successful as they can in the classroom and throughout their lives.

Understanding and assimilating these important findings has made a difference for our students in many ways.

One of the most recent programs that we have tested and implemented in our classrooms is known as The Model Classroom Program©.

In conjunction and collaboration with Kennedy Krieger Schools in Baltimore, MD, ACCEL developed The Model Classroom Program as way to improve classroom management and decrease behavioral problems for students with autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities, or other special needs.
