In the United States, federal law requires public schools to provide special education services to children with any disabilities. Specialists commonly provide these services while the children attend the same schools, and often the same classes, at (as) other students
在美国,联邦法律规定公立学校需要为患有(学习)障碍的儿童提供特殊的教育服务。专家通常为那些在同一学校和其他学生在同一班里上学的患儿提供这些服务。
But today we look at three private schools that service only students with learning disabilities. 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.
但是,今天我们来看看三所专门为学习障碍儿童服务的私立学校。宾州的Hillside 学校接收了120名患儿。这些学生年龄在5到13岁。他们在语言、书写或者在处理数字上存在困难。他们也可能患有注意力缺乏症。
Each class has no more than eight students. Hillside administrators say the main goal to prepare students to learn effectively in a regular school. Teachers and specialists develop individual learning plans for the students, which is something at public schools may also do.
每个班不多于8人。Hillside的校长说该学校的主要目的帮学生做好准备使他们可以在正常学校更有效的学习。老师和转接卡发了专为学生设计的个人学习计划,在一些公立学校中,也有这样的计划。
Development director Kathey Greene says most students remain at Hillside for about three years before living a regular classroom setting.
发展部主任Kathey Greene说多数学生在回到常规课堂前,一般要在Hillside学习3年左右。
