Program Description : Sheppard Pratt School in Severn River Middle School is a 10-month special education program in Anne Arundel County; we serve students grades six through eight, ages 11 to 15, autism, emotional disabilities, speech and language impairment, specific learning disabilities, multiple disabilities, and other health impairment. We help prepare students for their academic futures using Anne Arundel County Public School’s curriculum and provide support in general education classrooms. Our students spend time in self-contained and general education classes based on their level of readiness. We help students gain the tools they need to integrate into the larger school community. Our students integrate fully with their peers for ENCORE classes, including physical education, art, foreign language, and core academic classes based on their readiness. Students are fully integrated for lunch as well as all schoolwide events. Our students take part in after-school extracurricular activities that can include art classes, sports, and more. We provide our students with structured and supportive opportunities to gain independence and manage behaviors. We use research-based practices, social thinking instruction, and sensory integration strategies to best meet the needs of our students. Our students benefit from small class sizes, individual and group counseling, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and individualized academic support.
