Banger Regional Program for Deaf/Hard Of Hearing

Mission
The Bangor School Department’s Regional Program provides students access to quality educational programming in a therapeutic separate day school. The program provides a therapeutic environment and positive behavioral support to help students learn needed strategies to regulate their social and emotional behavior enabling them to learn skills that will assist them in returning successfully to their public school settings.

Goals

• The Bangor Regional Program provides academic instruction consistent with the Bangor Public School Curriculum.
• Small group and individualized instruction are provided consistent with the students’ Individualized Education Program and may include discrete trial instruction, functional life skills curriculum, vocational job site training, and traditional academic programming.
• Special education teachers collaborate with a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor to develop positive behavioral support plans that assist students in meeting their educational and behavior goals.
• Special education teachers collaborate with the students’ home school districts to plan the student’s return to local programming when students are ready to transfer to a less restrictive educational environment.
