Adaptive Learning Center

The Adaptive Learning Center (ALC) is a district-wide K–8 special education program that serves students with severe and multiple disabilities, including communication, intellectual, developmental, and physical challenges. Students in the program are active and included members of the Lincoln School community and participate throughout the school day with adult support as needed. Learning takes place within both the ALC classroom and grade-level general education classrooms.

The ALC provides support across multiple areas of development. Students may work on independence in functional and grade-level curriculum while also developing important life skills, including:

  • Activities of daily living, such as toileting, eating, and dressing
  • Safety skills
  • Communication
  • Physical abilities
  • Behavior and self-management
  • Social, play, and leisure activities

These life skills are taught in an intensive, systematic, and individualized way, with an emphasis on applying skills across settings. Student programming reflects a wide range of abilities and learning styles and is tailored to individual needs, including adaptive and modified materials that support access to grade-level curriculum.
