The Merrimack School 45-Day Assessment Program

Assists in determining interventions that will aid students with increasing their ability to perform successfully within an educational setting. The program also addresses the therapeutic needs relative to each student. Psychosocial needs are accessed via formal and informal assessments while utilizing a holistic approach. The program offers two models: a self contained model and an integrated one. Both models provide a low student/teacher ratio.

At the end of the 45 day program, a written report is presented at a team meeting where intervention strategies are discussed, as well as descriptions of the type of educational setting that will best meet the student’s needs.
