The Westhampton Beach Learning Center is a center-based program providing learning experiences in self-contained classes for students ages 5 through 21 in groupings of six or twelve. The Center incorporates two strands; The Behavioral and the Developmental.
The Behavioral Strand provides specialized instruction for students with emotional problems and/or psychiatric disorders at the elementary and secondary levels leading to a high school or IEP diploma. Additionally, this strand provides transition activities leading to the world of work.
The Development Strand provides specialized instruction for students with autism, moderate, severe and profound mental retardation and/or orthopedic handicaps, physical deficits and other disorders which require close medical monitoring. The program operates at the elementary and secondary levels to maximize each student's skills to prepare him/her for transition to independent living, sheltered work environment, supported community employment or day treatment.
