Primary Goal

Our primary goal is to provide a free, appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE).  The educational placement of a student is determined by an IEP committee and is based on the needs of the student.

 Continuum of Services

Riverdale provides a continuum of placement options for students with mild, moderate and severe exceptionalities.

 Students with mild/moderate exceptionalities are typically serviced through the following delivery models: consultation, support facilitation, co-teach, small group, and separate class.

 Our students with severe learning disabilities, mild emotional /behavioral disabilities, mild mental handicaps and autism spectrum disorders are placed in their least restrictive environment and participate in Community Based Instruction, On the Job Training and Special Olympics.

We have a Best Buddies Club and encourage our students to engage and participate in high school activities.
