Major Activities

Activity 2

After School Programs -provide opportunities to develop both academic competence and life skills through extracurricular programs. The After-School programs include Cubbies/Cougars Basketball, Independent Living Overnights, Friday Night Recreation and Academic Intervention (AIS). These programs enable our students to be provided with academic support, as well as to practice athletic and functional skills critical to the development of the "whole child" at the Henry Viscardi School. In addition, RAMP (Reaching All My Potential) students participated in an extended day program held approximately once per month. The Students, who have completed 12 years of school, continue to work towards their diploma goals, prepared meals , selected recreational activities, and practiced social sills supporting their successful transition to post secondary life.

Activity 3

Enhancing the curriculum - The Henry Viscardi School Approaches to Augmentative Communication establishes a unified approach to the delivery of Augmentative/Alternative Communication(AAC), thereby assisting children in achieving their full potential. By establishing viable AAC systems in the younger grades, we greatly enhance the academic success of students in the older grades. The transition from class-to-class (here at HVS) or from HVS to community schools is also greatly expedited when a viable AAC system is in place. Ensuring that each student has at least one viable means of accessing technology, allowing them to interface with the curriculum and communication. Viable access typically requires thousands of trials to develop reliable motor use. This objective requires staff to build a curriculum that adheres to NY State standards and employs creative strategies for providing students with numerous functional opportunities for practicing this motor access through the school day.
