Program Description : Sheppard Pratt School in Lanham is a nonpublic special education day school in Prince George’s County; we provide year-round educational, therapeutic, and daily living services to students ages 5 to 21 with autism, intellectual disabilities, multiple disabilities, and other health impairments. Everything about our school is designed with the needs of our students in mind, down to the smallest details – including sensory-engaging elements like bubble tubes and a 50-gallon fish tank. Our classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards, and our curriculum embraces technology, manipulatives, and hands-on activities. We prepare our students for meaningful futures and partner with local businesses to provide community-based job-site opportunities. Through our robust curriculum, our team of compassionate educators and therapists help students meet their educational goals and prepare them for life beyond the classroom. We provide a 2:1 staff to student ratio and offer grade level and adapted curriculum from the Maryland College and Career Readiness Standards, Prince George’s County Public School Curriculum, and UNIQUE Learning System; students have individualized behavior intervention plans as needed as well. Our students have access to occupational and physical therapy, speech and language therapy, vocational and life skills training, psychiatric services, nursing services, and transition services – all on-site.
