Parish School of Religion

Special Needs Program


Purpose

To modify St Timothy’s religious education program in order to fit the needs of our students by integrating children with special needs into a “Least Restrictive Environment” setting.

Piecing it Together

7th and 8th grade classes meet: Mondays from 7:00 to 8:30
1st through 3rd grade classes meet: Wednesday from 5:30 to 6:40
4th through 6th grade classes meet: Wednesday from 7:00 to 8:10

Every child with special needs will be integrated in a least restrictive setting that incorporates the four pieces of the religious education program:

Class Instruction
Fun in Faith Nights
Share in Prayer Nights 
Service Projects

Some Highlighted Pieces of Our Faith

  • Instruction: Lesson adaptation will vary with students’ individual needs.
  • Collaboration: Will occur between St. Timothy and the student’s school setting.
  • Assistance: Volunteer aides will assist students, as needed, in order to incorporate a least restrictive environment.

Every Child is Special in the Eyes of God
