Special Education Instructional Programs
Our Programs
Inclusion Program / Resource Specialist Program
Students in Roybal’s Inclusion Program learn alongside their general education peers while receiving the services identified in their IEP. General education and Special Education teachers share responsibility for planning, instruction, assessment, and student support. Co-teaching, differentiated instruction, small-group support, accommodations, and ongoing progress monitoring help students participate meaningfully in rigorous, grade-level learning.
Autism Core Program (AUT Core)
Students in the Autism Core Program receive specialized instruction and support in a smaller, structured setting for most core classes. The program is led by a Special Day Program teacher with expertise in supporting students whose primary eligibility is Autism. Instruction addresses academic learning as well as communication, self-advocacy, social interaction, behavior, and independence. Students may also receive a communication skills elective and participate in general education classes, electives, and school activities as appropriate.
