CARES
We believe…
- Every child is different and therefore learns differently, but everyone is capable of learning.
- Behavior in any form is communication.
- If a child cannot learn by the way we teach, then we must teach in a way the child can learn.
- A working relationship between school and home is critical to the success of a child’s education.
- Within the educational programs there should be accountability to produce outcomes that are socially valuable, functional and acceptable.
- They only appropriate education is an effective education.
CARES Services
CARES provides services to students who reside in Mentor, as well as surrounding districts. CARES is open to students who have a primary diagnosis of autism and whose Individual Education Plan (IEP) team has determined that an outside placement is necessary in order for a student to achieve success. Parents interested in CARES should contact their Special Education Director.
