【我的总结与翻译】

In the United States, federal law requires public schools to provide special education services to children with any disability. Specialists commonly provide these services while the children attend the same schools, and often the same classes, as other students.

在美国，联邦法律要求各公立学校为障碍症患儿提供特殊的教学服务。这些患儿与其他学生一起上同一所学校，在同一个班学习，这时，一些专职老师通常就会提供这些服务。

But today we look at 3 private schools that serve only students with learning disabilities.

但今天我们谈到的这3年私立学校，他们只地为那些患有学习障碍的学生提供服务。

The Hillside School in Pennsylvania accepts up to 128 children. The students are ages 5 to 13. They have disorders with language, writing or working with numbers. They may also have attention deficit disorders.

宾夕法尼亚的Hillside学校招收了128名学生，其年龄为5至13岁，他们在语言、书写或是数学运算方面有障碍，也可能患有注意力缺陷障碍。

Each class has no more than 8 students. Hillside administrators say the main goal is to prepare students to learn effectively in a regular school. Teachers and specialists develop individual learning plans for the students, which is something a public school may also do.

每个班不超过8名学生。Hillside学校的行政人员称，其主要目的就是为这些学生能在普通学校有效地学生作准备。普通老师和专职老师为每个学生制定各自的学习计划，这些计划可能也是公立学校所做的。

Development director Kathy Greene says most students remain at Hillside for about three years before leaving for a regular classroom setting.

开发总监Kathy Greene称，大部分Hillside学校的学生在Hillside学习约三年后就可以转入普通学校。
