WELCOME! We have several services we provide for students with special needs. Below is information on our Ohio Autism Program. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We would love the chance to talk with you and see what we can provide for your child.
Ohio Autism Scholarship Program (Preschool - 12th grade)
|
If your child has been diagnosed on the autism spectrum and has a current Individualized Educational Plan (IEP), they may be eligible for the Ohio Autism Scholarship Program. However, at this time, we are only able to service children that are on the higher-functioning end of the spectrum and are able to be mainstreamed for the majority of their classes.
Heartland has a highly-qualified Intervention Specialist, Speech and Language Therapist and an Occupational Therapist, as well as Tutors that will be available to work directly with your child as required by his/her IEP. Your child will be given support with organization, homework assignments, note-taking, study skills, social skills, etc., while also receiving a quality, Christian education with other students in his/her grade level. |
