Program A and B
Because it is not economically feasible to provide all of the specialized programs, particularly a therapy tank at each regional program school, two separate programs of space requirements have been developed: full-program, “Program A,” and a smaller limited-program, “Program B”
The goal is to provide services for approximately 30-50 students with significant cognitive disabilities at comprehensive schools
