Our PEP class is made up of 7 incredibly special and diverse students. They are 3-5 years old and have a variety of disabilities. Our students are preparing for Kindergarten by learning foundational academic skills as well as appropriate school behaviors. In order for our students to access the curriculum that is also developmentally appropriate based on their needs, we adapt all materials for instruction. Our students benefit from visual cues, multi-modal communication, multi-sensory instruction, and LOTS of movement breaks for their busy bodies!
