Description

Students with special needs are given the opportunity to be served in the HPCA Resource Program. The Resource Program is mainly tutorial. In addition, we provide a remedial reading component, in order to better serve the needs of our students. All members of our Resource Team are certified teachers and have earned additional certificates in the "Teaching Diverse Learners Program" from The Hill Center in Durham, North Carolina. The Hill Center offers nationally-recognized professional development programs and specializes in working with students who have identified learning differences and/or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Our Resource personnel partner with classroom teachers and parents to meet the needs of our students with learning differences. We strive for effective communication between all parties. In addition to the tutoring/remediation services we offer, we help our students to develop organizational skills, study skills, and responsibility. Our Resource personnel provide progress reports to parents on a quarterly basis. The HPCA Resource team utilizes a remedial reading program that is compatible with the reading curriculum used throughout the elementary level. The remedial reading instruction that we provide has been designed and purposed to meet the needs of students who have a weakness or a gap in foundational reading strategies. Reading remediation is implemented through the use of multi-sensory instruction based on the Orton-Gillingham approach. This research-based method has been proven to help students with learning differences to improve their reading abilities. The program is structured, systematic, and individualized. Resource sessions are designed to build phonological awareness, word attack skills, vocabulary, reading fluency, and reading comprehension.
