Springstone School is a college preparatory school in Lafayette, California. It includes a middle school and high school that specialize in teaching children with Asperger's Syndrome and other executive function challenges that affect their ability to organize and prioritize information and to make meaningful social connections. In order to provide more individualized instruction, the school provides small, structured classrooms with up to eight students per class. The school was, in the past, called the Keystone School. ==Programs== The school has numerous classes, including science, English, math, physical education, robotics, occupational therapy, project-based learning and history, among others. Once every six weeks or so, the school hosts an "access week" during which high school students go out into the community during school hours. Springstone emphasizes the use of technology as an educational tool. Classrooms are equipped with laptop computers, computer projectors, wireless internet, access to a shared network, and overhead projectors. The students use laptop computers for concept-mapping and written activities. A shared network allows students to store and retrieve documents in folders that are organized by grade and class. Occupational therapy is integrated throughout the program, and sensory motor strategies are implemented into the school day in several ways. Tools are available for use during the transition between classes and during class, as needed. The occupational therapist works with teachers and students to develop strategies to maintain focus and attention, decrease anxiety, and enhance social interaction. Kristine Wong has a degree in Occupational Therapy. Kerry Linetzsky teaches social skills. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Springstone School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
