The
Student Support
Services (S.S.S.)
is
an innovative program that strives to maximize individual student
success in the regular classroom while at the same time serving as a
screening process for students who may be in need of special education
services. The S.S.S.
is a positive, success-oriented team
that uses specific assessment and intervention techniques to help remove
educational, behavioral or other stumbling blocks for all students in
the regular classroom.Any elementary school student who experiences
consistent academic or behavioral problems may be a candidate for
S.S.S.
The classroom teacher, other
educators, or parents identify students for
S.S.S.
The S.S.S. process involves three steps:
Identifying a student’s need for academic or behavioral support.
Determining the strategies needed to assist the students.
Implementing intervention strategies through a continuum of
services.
