A Day in the Life
The students in our program follow a schedule that is determined by their IEP. Some of them stay in the D.T. (Discrete Trial) room all day; some of them are in the classroom part of the day; some of them are in the classroom for the majority of the time, with pull-out D.T. services; and some of them are in the classroom with an Independence Facilitator (IF) for the entire time. The schedule below represents "A Day in the Life" of a child that is in the D.T. room for the entire day.
