to assess the progress and accuracy of independent
responses. This assessment is conducted over a
number of months and requires observations, data
collection, reliability data, and permanent products.
Although it is individualized, it does not reflect the

Last year a high functioning school age classroom
was created at Shema Kolainu. The students in this
class are up to par academically but lack certain social
abilities as well as adaptive daily living skills. The
students experienced difficulties succeeding in a
classroom setting that does not provide behavioral
modification, individualized attention, and tactical
interventions. They are mandated to participate in

complete age appropriate academic tasks.
This year, we are so proud of our students’ abilities to
remain focused, and stay on task. We are excited to
be a part of a system that pushes academic standards,
and accountability. Most of all, we are honored to be
part of a society where individuals with disabilities are
not bucketed based on title or diagnosis but rather
their individualized abilities. In the Shema Kolainu
family we view every one of our students as our
children, each has name, and each has strengths and
weaknesses that are unique to them. It is inspiring to
see that we as society have grown to understand that
and realize that: NO CHILD SHOULD BE LEFT
BEHIND!
