Howard D. McMillan Middle School opened three new Autistic Units for the 2006-2007 school year. Our units serve children with Autism Spectrum Disorder who are at varioius levels of functioning. The curriculum includes functional academics, communication skills, social/personal skills, electives, community based instruction and participation in the special olympics. In addition, students receive speech therapy and/or occupational therapy as stated on the student's IEP.
Our students are given the opportunity to participate in the inclusion program when they are ready. We currently have two students from the self-contained setting who are in the inclusion program. They are both doing a wonderful job and their teachers are very happy with their progress. We have students involved with the morning announcements who are supported by a classroom paraprofessional and administrator. We are very proud of our new program at Howard D. McMillan Middle School and our mission is to help each child reach their greatest potential.
McMillan Middle School is "a place where every child matters".
