ABC Program: Academics, Behavior, and Community Program
This program is an intensive, full-day program that fully integrates academics, social and behavioral competencies. Academically, the emphasis will be on reading, writing, and math. Socially and behaviorally this program includes embedded activities that teach specific social and behavioral skills. The purpose is to address the relationship between behaviors/social issues and academic difficulties.
- This program serves students in elementary and middle school age range, as well as nonclassified students who may be eligible for 504 services.
- Each student is enrolled for one semester with a targeted transition plan back to a home school placement. The opportunity to remain in the program is available.
- The program is staffed by a lead teacher with expertise in behavior and social competencies, two Special Education/Elementary Education teachers with extensive training in effective reading strategies, and a teaching assistant.
- The ABC program consists of two classrooms at the BOCES Salt Point Educational Center. The population consists of classified and nonclassified students.
- To maintain consistency and insure the success of each student, parents and home district teachers are provided training for successful transition back to the student’s district classroom.
Alternative Middle School
This is a full-day middle school alternative program leading to entrance into high school by completion of eighth-grade requirements. Characteristics of the program include small class size and a range of counseling services provided by Astor School Based Services.
Assistive Technology
Certified personnel provide direct and indirect support service in the integration and use of assistive technology devices, materials, and strategies to students, educational teams, and families. This service includes assistive technology evaluations, student technology consultations, and training to students and staff to promote the integration and use of technology tools within the academic environment. Follow-up support is provided upon request, including staff development.
Intensive Day Treatment Transitional
This is a short-term transitional program to serve adolescents in acute emotional crisis. Clinical services are provided by Rockland Children’s Psychiatric Center. This program offers two classes: one designed for adolescents, grades seven through twelve and the second designed for students in grades three through six.
Intensive Learning Environment [1-6-2]
These programs are designed for students aged 5 - 10 years with highly intensive management needs. Students typically lack impulse control, are very violent and may be substance affected. These programs are augmented with related services as specified by the student’s IEP.
Extended School Year [ESY]
The Extended School Year [ESY] Program serves students from all school districts who require a 12-month program as determined by the local Committee on Special Education.
PEACCE Program [1-6-2]
These programs are designed for students with Autism Spectrum Disorders [ASDS]. Our staff is trained in the TEACCH Model as developed at the University of North Carolina. A very defined program provides the structured environment required for the children to learn. Related services as designated on the student’s IEP are provided by TEACCH trained staff within the classroom.

1-6-1 and 1-8-1 Centers
The 1-6-1 programs serve students whose needs are determined to be highly intensive for reasons related to behavior, delayed development or physical disabilities.
The 1-8-1 programs serve students whose management needs are determined to be intensive for reasons related to behavior, delayed development and/or physical disabilities and who can tolerate a slightly higher ratio than 1-6-1 but not as high as 1-12-1.
Both are augmented with related services as designated on the student’s IEP. Vocational programs are offered to secondary students within the Special Education class framework.
