Regardless of the nature or severity of a child’s disability, our exceptionally-trained staff is dedicated to addressing a wide range of needs. *
Special Education
The BHS special education program assists children with a variety of social, emotional and learning impairments. Children are assimilated into traditional classrooms as much as possible. Students learn and process information that will be necessary for a productive and independent adult life.
A number of supplemental programs at each building assist children in challenging areas, provide academic skills training, and help with learning difficulties. These include Academic Resource Programs, Learning Resource Centers, General Education Resource Teachers, and Program of Assistance for General Education Students. In addition, SCAMP, a five-week recreational summer camp, is available for special education students each year.

A Progress...
In April 2006, forums were conducted by the Bloomfield Hills Association for Special Education (BHASE) for the parents of students who are enrolled in the District's Deaf and Hard of Hearing (D/HH) and Academic Resource (ARP) programs. A committee was then formed to review the recommendations made at the forums. The final recommendations of the committee, as well as progress toward those recommendations will be presented to the Board of Education on January 17, 2008. A complete report will also be presented at the January BHASE meeting, followed by a discussion.
