At Linn Benton Lincoln ESD, we understand the unique challenges districts face in providing an appropriate education for students with severe disabilities. Our team offers a comprehensive range of services and expertise to support these students’ diverse needs effectively.
Highly Specialized Instructors
Our staff includes educators with extensive training and experience working with students who have severe intellectual disabilities, multiple disabilities, deaf-blindness, and other significant impairments. They utilize evidence-based instructional strategies tailored to each student’s abilities.
Individualized Curriculums
We develop individualized, functional curriculums focused on enhancing communication, mobility, self-care, social skills, and other critical areas. Curriculums incorporate the student’s interests while aligning with standards to maximize engagement.
Augmentative/Alternative Communication
For non-verbal or minimally-verbal students, our specialists evaluate needs and implement augmentative/alternative communication systems such as visual supports, voice output devices, and assistive technology tools.
Positive Behavior Intervention
Students with severe disabilities may exhibit challenging behaviors. Our board-certified behavior analysts conduct functional assessments and develop positive behavior support plans to proactively address concerns.
Intensive Life Skills Training
We provide comprehensive life skills instruction across domestic, vocational, community, and recreation domains to foster independence and prepare students for post-secondary transitions.
Adapted Equipment and Accommodations
Our team assesses needs and identifies adapted equipment, accommodations and modifications required for mobility, positioning, vision, hearing and overall accessibility based on each student’s physical abilities.
Collaboration for Seamless Services
We work closely with families, district teams, and community providers to share strategies, coordinate services and provide consultation for consistent, cohesive support across all environments.
Whether supporting inclusion opportunities or operating self-contained specialized programs, Linn Benton Lincoln ESD ensures students with severe disabilities receive an individualized, high-quality education that addresses their unique abilities.
