Program Description : Sheppard Pratt School in Hunt Valley is a nonpublic special education day school located in Baltimore County; we provide year-round educational, vocational, and daily living services to students ages 5 to 21 with autism, intellectual disability, multiple disabilities, or other health impairment. With small class sizes, and a low student-to-staff ratio, personal attention and compassionate care are our top priorities. We offer grade-level and adapted curricula from Maryland College and Career Readiness Standards, Baltimore County Public School Curriculum, Syracuse Community-Referenced Curriculum, Essential for Living Curriculum, and Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program. Our students are grouped according to age, social skills, behaviors, and ability, ensuring that they are working alongside peers in a supportive environment. As students work towards their Certificate of Completion, they receive speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, behavior assessment and treatment, psychiatric and nursing services – all while at school. We prepare youth for their futures, understanding that our students need more than what a traditional school can provide. Everything we do is educational, functional, and practical, preparing our students with the tools they will need to excel beyond the classroom. To help students get ‘real world’ experience, we partner with local businesses to offer internships and ‘employ’ our students at the school store – imparting valuable, transferable skills. We’re intentional about incorporating fun activities as well, with annual Homecoming, Halloween, and Carnival celebrations that our students love.
