Tech savvy volunteers with a heart for children with disabilities are wanted to assist classroom teacher.
Students at Oak Park School are selected to attend this school based on their severe developmental, sensory, and/or behavioral needs.
The children range in ages from 5-21 and are grouped into either the Action Team for children with emotional and behavioral issues, the IND unit for children with developmental and physical delays, and the Autism unit for children on the spectrum. There is also the DAT group that need Assistive Technology to access the curriculum.
As the new Tech Teacher, I will see all these students in my classroom once a week.
Volunteers are needed to help me meet the wide range of individual needs presented in the classroom. A positive outlook, energy and enthusiasm are all a plus.

Mission Statement
Oak Park School is a district center school that provides educational and therapeutic services to over 300 students with disabilities. We utilize general education curriculum as well as curriculum designed specifically for students with special needs. All curriculum is rigorous and relevant, and is differentiated to meet the needs of each individual student. Oak Park has six instructional teams, with each team supporting students according to exceptionality, strengths, and medical and behavioral needs. Our staff consists of highly educated and trained teachers, specialists and paraprofessionals who continually set high expectations for students so that each may strive to reach their maximum potential
Description
Each student at Oak Park participates in vocational programming that prepares them for employment opportunities after transitioning from post-graduate programming. Our We Work Lab is designed for students to learn pre-vocational skills that lead to employment.
Oak Park’s Horticulture and Practical Arts programs offer hands-on work experiences on campus that provide restoration and beautification to the school and its grounds. Student-created mosaic pieces are extremely popular and are sold throughout the community. Our Pelican Cottage is a portable classroom that has been beautifully transformed into an apartment where students can go to learn independent living skills
