JAMES E. ALLEN ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL | JAMES E. ALLEN ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL
Program serves disabled students, ages 11 through 21, who require highly intensive management needs due to conduct disorders. The program provides ongoing educational instruction that incorporates the Common Core Learning Standards. The services of a consulting psychiatrist are available for those conduct disordered students who also have psychiatric needs. In addition, strong emphasis is placed upon remedial instruction, vocational training and having each student's parents and family become part of the treatment. An after-school program is offered for students who are unable to attend a normal full-day school due to the students' disability(ies). This option is also suitable for students who are employed during the school day and who require after-school educational programming to complete their high school studies. Related services, support services and psychiatric consultation services are also offered for students who require these specialized services.

WESTERN SUFFOLK BOCES SPECIAL EDUCATION DIVISION
Offers a comprehensive array of programs to meet the needs of disabled and non-disabled students. Students are placed in specific programs according to their individual academic capabilities and social/behavioral needs. The fundamental goal of Western Suffolk BOCES programs is to create a stimulating and challenging learning environment which maximizes each child's potential. Western Suffolk BOCES promotes achievement and success by providing our students with the opportunity to access the general education curriculum as well as to fully participate in the New York State Assessment Program. Within the Division, a continuum of services exists ranging from mainstream placement opportunities within the Alternate Learning Center Program through the comprehensive programs within the Special Education Center. Children are placed in BOCES special education programs at the direction of the local school district's Committee on Special Education. If you suspect your child has a disability, call your local school district and ask to speak with the director of special education.
