Program Description : Sheppard Pratt School in Rockville is a nonpublic special education day school located in Montgomery County; we serve students ages 5-21 (grades K-12) with autism, development delay, emotional disability, multiple disabilities, other health impairments, specific learning disability, and speech or language impairments. We provide a supportive and structured environment integrating specialized academic instruction, counseling, transition services, and behavioral modification specific to each student’s needs. In addition to traditional academic courses where students can pursue a high school diploma or certificate of completion, we assist middle and high school students in preparing to enter the workforce and for other adult responsibilities. Our Career Lab program is a structured and supervised experiential work program; students participate in the Career Lab program one day per week. Along with Career Lab, high school students can be assigned to an interest-based internship in the community when they demonstrate the ability to handle the emotional and behavioral demands of a work experience. Our students enjoy a wide range of recreational activities, including photography, volleyball, softball, an on-site rock wall, and our playground. The whole school also loves to participate in annual school-wide events like our art show. Our students benefit from on-site individual and group counseling; speech and language therapy; occupational therapy; physical therapy; transition services; Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS); academic remediation; restorative practices; psychiatry; and nursing services.
