At Achievement House, special education students are kept in the general education curriculum to the maximum extent possible. However, special education students often need targeted instruction to support their Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goal mastery.

Learning support teachers work with students individually or in a small group to provide instruction based on student need. The additional help will firm up the foundation needed to be successful in the general education courses. The learning support teachers can also work with general education teachers in the classroom to provide support for all students.

The Life Skills program is a branch of the AHCCS Learning Support program, and it is designed to service AHCCS students with intellectual disabilities or severe-moderate autism. The curriculum focuses on functional academics geared toward preparing students for independent living. Students in the Life Skills program will take the Pennsylvania Alternate System of Assessment (PASA) exam, designed for students with significant cognitive disabilities. This exam assesses a student’s attainment of Reading, Mathematics, and Science mastery objectives.

Life skills are generally those skills that students will need to survive in everyday life (i.e., money management , hygiene, and shopping for groceries). These skills are essential for students to learn because they enable the transition from school to life in the real world.
