The goal of Woodlands School Inc. is to ensure all students with disabilities receive their federally guaranteed, free, and appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment possible. Woodlands School Inc. is a firm proponent of inclusive practices and providing services using a “push in” instead of a “pull out” model.
Woodlands School Inc. works in collaboration with families, staff, and the community to ensure that students who receive special education services are able to achieve their goals with confidence and independence in all areas of their development.
