You are cordially invited to join us to learn about what an inclusive learning environment should look like for your child. Our students have individualized learning needs. In Colorado services to students are provided through residential and itinerant service
models. Finding and creating the right learning environment is a collaborative effort. We are pleased to introduce our guest speakers who will be discussing their experiences with the models in Colorado.</p>
