Program Description : Sheppard Pratt School in Millersville Elementary School is a Type II 10-month special education program serving students grades one through five with autism, emotional disabilities, multiple disabilities, specific learning disabilities, and other health impairments. Our location within Millersville Elementary School, an Anne Arundel Couty public school, provides us shared access to the school’s facilities and resources and ensures our students can participate in as many mainstream classes as possible. Our students are divided into classrooms based on age and grade level. In addition to a traditional school curriculum, we use techniques including core communication, social skills instruction, and observational learning to support our students. Our curriculum is hands-on and practical, and our educators incorporate thematic concepts students can easily apply outside of the classroom. We provide small class sizes, individual and group counseling, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, resource support, individualized academic support, and support during mainstream classes to ensure our students thrive.
