Three Schools for the Learning Disabled　(1/2)

In the United States, federal (adj.  联邦的, 同盟的) law requires public schools to provide special education services to children with any disability. Specialists (n.  专科医师, 专家) commonly provide these services while the children attend the same schools and offer often the same classes as other students. But today we look at three private schools that serve only students with learning disabilities.

在美国，联邦法律要求公立大学必须为有能力缺陷的小孩提供特殊的教育服务。这些小孩与其他学生常常是在相同的学校和教室，专家通常会为他们提供特殊的服务。但是今天，我们来看一看3个单独为这些有学习障碍的学生开放的私立学校。

The Hillside School in Pennsylvania (n.  宾夕法尼亚州) accepts up to 128 children. The students are ages five to thirteen. They have disorders (n.  杂乱, 混乱) with language, writing or working with numbers. They may also have attention deficit (n.短缺,缺乏) disorders. Each class has no more than eight students. Hillside minister administrators say the main goal is to prepare students to learn infectively effectively in a regular school.

宾夕法尼亚州的 Hillside 学校共有128名学生，年龄在5到13岁之间。他们都有语言、写作或者数字方面的缺陷，还有注意力缺乏的症状。学校的每个教室都不超过8个学生。Hillside的管理人表示学校的主要目标是是为学生上正常学校做学习上的准备。

Teachers and specialists develop individual learning plans for the students which something a public school may also do. Development director Kathy Greene says mostly students remain the at Hillside for about three years before leaving for a regular classroom setting.

老师和专家为这些学生设计了个体学习计划，这计划在一些公立学校里也同样实行。发展部主任Kathy Greene 说大部分学生在去正规班级之前需要在Hillside学习大约3年。
