SPECIAL NEEDS
M.E.C.A. makes every possible effort to accommodate children with special needs and we are a wheel chair accessible facility. We do quarterly assessments of children's behavior and academic progress and discuss any changes or concerns with the parent(s) and child(ren). If a child currently has an active IEP at the time of enrollment, the Center Director will make every necessary effort to meet it's provisions. Our center will also accommodate TSS or any other accompanying special needs provider. Our center partners with Elwyn as a referral source for families that require information or services for a child with special needs.
