Welcome to Exceptional Student Education!
We are extremely excited to begin another school year at Lake Gem Elementary! The Lake Gem ESE department provides services to students with varying exceptionalities, ranging from Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ALL of our ASD classrooms are equipped with Interactive White Boards to enhance student learning through the use of technology.
The ESE staff is committed to ensuring that ALL students are successful. We consist of ASD teachers, Varying Exceptionalities teacher, Paraprofessionals, Program Assistants/Support Facilitators, Behavior Specialist, and Staffing Specialist. We look forward to working with you and your child this year.
