ACCEL

ACCEL has a rolling admissions policy so a school district, educational consultant, parent or other referring agency may refer a student at any time.

ACCEL considers students for whom the IEP team agrees a private day school is deemed appropriate and who will benefit from the intensive educational, behavioral, vocational, and related services provided. Available space is also a factor in admitting students.

Admission to ACCEL is facilitated by a thorough exchange of information about the prospective student.  The ACCEL team reviews the student’s history, Individual Education Plan school district, parents/guardians, and the prospective students. ACCEL's team reviews the special education records and assessments (IEP and psychological reports) and medical records.

To facilitate the screening process, referral sources are asked to provide (if available) the following:

• ACCEL requests parents/guardians visit the school and tour the campus prior to being admitted. At this time important considerations and information are exchanged. Usually a member of the behavior team or other administrator observes the student in his/her current setting.
• Following the visits, observations, and review of records, a decision is made by ACCEL's team and is communicated with the referring school district or individual.
• ACCEL admits students of any race, color, and religious affiliation, national or ethnic origin.  ACCEL does not discriminate against students who qualify under the criteria of the school, or in the delivery of education, behavioral, or related services.
