At San Antonio S.T.E.A.M. Academy, we are deeply committed to the success of each student. Recognizing that every learner has unique needs, our inclusive education model is designed to provide a strong foundation for all students, particularly those with diagnosed disabilities. We embrace diversity and tailor our support to meet the individual requirements of our students.

Expanding Services for Diverse Needs

As San Antonio S.T.E.A.M. Academy has grown, so has the breadth of our support services. We proudly support a diverse group of students with a variety of conditions, including autism, Down syndrome, epilepsy, and other learning challenges. Our robust Student Support Teams (SST) and Response to Intervention (RTI) processes are aligned with our commitment to continuous improvement and targeted support.

Collaboration with Local Schools and Specialists

Our partnerships with local schools and specialists ensure that we have access to essential resources such as speech pathologists and occupational therapists. This collaborative effort enables us to offer a comprehensive support system that addresses the wide-ranging needs of our students.

Individualized Education Plans (IEP)

In line with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), our goal is to educate students within the least restrictive environment (LRE) conducive to their growth. We create and follow Individualized Education Plans (IEP) for eligible students, which are dynamic and evolve with the child’s progress. These plans incorporate input from a team that includes educators, specialists, and parents.

Adaptable Levels of Support

The level of support each child receives is as unique as their needs. Some students benefit from minor adjustments and consultative services in the general classroom, while others may require more dedicated instruction in a specialized setting. Our commitment to LRE means that placement and support levels are always aligned with the child’s goals and the collaborative recommendations of their IEP team.

Leveraging Our Community Size

One of the unique strengths of San Antonio S.T.E.A.M. Academy is our close-knit community, which allows us to build a highly effective support program. This intimate setting enables us to deliver personalized attention and adapt quickly to the needs of our students.

Continual Curriculum Adaptation

Understanding that learning support is an ongoing process, we continually adapt our curriculum and interventions to better serve our students. By staying responsive to the evolving educational landscape and the specific needs of our students, we ensure that our support mechanisms are effective and impactful.

At San Antonio S.T.E.A.M. Academy, we believe that every student has the right to an enriching, inclusive, and empowering education. Our Learning Support & Intervention services reflect our unwavering dedication to this belief and to the academic and personal success of our students.
