Measureable Academic Achievement for Youth with Special Needs

Intermountain Centers for Human Development offers the Tucson community a positive teaching environment for youth with specialized needs – a school that builds on each individual child’s strengths and interests. Building on 40 years of experience in providing positive behavioral supports, the Intermountain Academy will provide:

  • Classroom instruction
  • Transition/integration support between referred students and their home school
  • Individualized curriculum assessment and implementation
  • Behavior assessment and behavior intervention plan development
  • Monitoring IEP and reporting goal progress back to the home school

The Intermountain Academy curriculum:

  • Maximizes measurable academic achievement in core subject areas – math, science, language arts,
    social studies, and the arts;
  • Is created for each student individually because of the school’s small student/faculty ratio;  
  • Offers educational material in graduated sequences;
  • Is delivered by faculty well-trained in an empirical behavioral model, utilizing positive behavior support,
    emphasizing the concepts of programmed learning;
  • Includes educational and vocational opportunities in the Tucson community at large;
  • Is project-based and experiential, utilizing peer teaching, family support and participation, and
    community resources; and
  • Supports positive replacement behaviors for anti-social and other behaviors which interfere
    with learning.

The Intermountain Academy administrators include skilled educators and licensed clinicians who will assist with the
development of Integration Plans for each student.  Their graduate studies and professional experience are in
educational leadership, early intervention, special education, positive behavior support and child psychology and
development. 

The Intermountain Academy meets state and federal standards of instruction and provides annual standardized testing.
