Our Educational Programs
-
Program for Preschoolers with Disabilities (PSD)
The philosophy in all of our PSD classrooms is students first. When you visit an SBJC PSD classroom, you find an environment that is child-friendly with students participating in programs focusing on intensive/early intervention. Applying the principles of ABA, the SBJC identifies age-appropriate behaviors and creates a system that incorporates positive motivation and reinforcement for students.
-
Program for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Our Autism Program uses Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) as its primary approach in order to alter behaviors and positively influence how learning takes place. We utilize centers-based instruction focusing on academic, social-emotional, communication, and functional living skills.
-
Program for Students with Emotional Regulation Impairment (ERI)
Our Emotional Regulation Impairment Program philosophy is to provide comprehensive supports to the child and their family, with a focus on the whole child. We take several measures in order to achieve this approach: district-wide behavior system; positive behavior supports; reinforcement-rich environment; and reinforced replacement behaviors.
-
Program for Students with Multiple Disabilities (MD)
Our Multiple Disabilities program blends a curriculum of academic and functional skills to provide students with specialized learning to foster their independence. Our MD Classrooms located in our Annexes serve students with diverse academic and developmental needs who require a more generalized curriculum and a range of teaching methods, in addition to having regular access to inclusive activities in a general public school setting.
-
18-21 Transition Program
SBJC’s Students Transitioning to Adult Responsibilities (STAR) Program’s purpose is to facilitate a successful transition for students from high school to adulthood, empowering these young adults to become active members of society and the workforce. The program offers our 18-21 learners opportunities to explore the local community under the guidance of their teachers, job coaches, and therapists.

LRE
The vision of the SBJC is centered on ensuring that our students are given the tools needed to live successful post-scholastic lives, and the first step in measuring that this is occurring is by developing a system that makes certain that our students are learning in their least restrictive environment.
Professional Development
The SBJC will establish a model that supports the professional growth of all of our faculty and staff. We are focusing on the use of data to drive the selection of professional development offerings, as well as to improve the training model we use for all of our new hires.
Communication
The SBJC is establishing a system that continuously analyzes data from surveys and other sources to assess our current communication methods and to improve upon our channeling of information. Under this plan, we will also develop skills within one of the most important and untapped assets of our learning community: our SBJC families.
Functional Living Skills
At the SBJC, we're maximizing the opportunities students have to both learn and generalize skills that promote their independence post-scholastically. We’re expanding programming in: Independent Living Skills; Social/Emotional Skills; Functional Communication Skills; and Community-Based Living Skills.
