Easter Seals Outreach Program
Easter Seals Arkansas’ Outreach Program is an Arkansas Department of Education, Special Education Unit (ADE-SEU) Title VI-B grant-funded program that supports a multidisciplinary team of consultants who address the school-related issues of students with disabilities ages 3-21 years. After receiving a referral via the ADE-SEU’s CIRCUIT process (see below), the Outreach team travels statewide to provide consultations, technical assistance, and professional development opportunities that address the needs of specific students, as well as build staff capacity within the local school district.
The Outreach Program uses and encourages an integrated team approach in building collaborative relationships among consultants, teachers, parents, administrators, and therapists to assess need and recommend services. The team is committed to providing quality services to enable students to reach their highest potential.
Our team consists of Occupational Therapists, Psychological Examiners, Special Educators, and Speech Language Pathologists.
CIRCUIT
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004 (Public Law 108-446) authorizes State activities to Local Education Agencies, including direct and supportive service activities, to improve results for children with disabilities, ages 3 to 21, by ensuring a free, appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. For this purpose, a regional cadre of special education consultants is available who can assist in interventions for students with sensory disabilities, multiple physical disabilities, behavior, and autism spectrum disorders.
