Education Services
Academic instruction is a critical component of any student’s success at T.C. Harris. The treatment plan encompasses the planning and implementation of a student’s development in the areas of gross and fine motor development, social-emotional learning, leisure skills, language and communication skills, functional living skills, and development of traditional academic skills in all curriculum areas. Instructional planning emphasizes the teaching and application of these skills in a more functional sense where they will be most useful for the child and foster independence.
