SPECIAL NEEDS

We welcome students with limited special needs, but HEC is not a school and we cannot give accommodations. Our vendors are not credentialed teachers and are not trained nor do we offer special needs classes, have the tools to provide services or accommodations for students with special needs. Our vendors will try their best to help with any reasonable needs that a child may need, not outside of what they are able to do in a 55 minute once a week class that will not inhibit them from teaching the rest of the class or put other students needs on the side or with any safety at risk for other students, that child or the instructor.

​

You may need to speak to your child's school to provide any accommodations. HEC does not have a public school classroom environment for accommodating many observations or aides and each vendor's classroom has limited capacities therefore is at their discretion.

 

If you have an educational support aide through your charter, the following steps are required to proceed. 

There is a limit to how many aides per classroom at one time. The vendor will take into consideration the capacity of the classroom, the dynamics of the classroom and students, the number of students enrolled in the class and will again be at the discretion of the vendor. There is a capacity limit to each room for the safety of the students and a fire hazard and/or having too many adult aides in the classroom at one time can be a distraction for the other students and a disruption to the learning environment.

  1. The steps to have an aide in class are as follows:

    1. The Parent needs to email HEC, the vendor and the charter school representative that will be coming, in one email, giving permission to have their child observed and to have an adult aide with their child and to make sure the vendor feels this will be a safe environment for the student upon the classroom circumstances. HEC & the vendor need to be given a few days notice. *It is at the discretion of each individual vendor.

    2. The parent is required to communicate with their child’s charter school as the school is the one that provides such accommodations.

    3. Educational support services must be approved through your charter and written in your child's individual educational plan.

    4. The aide that is assigned with your child will be required to provide proper identification and credentials upon arrival.

    5. The aide will need to be the same aide and cannot have different ones coming each week. Consistency is very important for the safety of all.

    6. Aides are not aba therapist. HEC is not a place to perform therapy. Aides are there to give educational support services provided from the student's charter school.

    7. Aides cannot distracting, talking to other people, on the phone or be working on other things and not paying attention to the student.

    8. If a student is having behavioral issues that disrupt other students the ability to learn or putting other students, the teacher or themselves in danger, or there are safety issues, they will be asked to leave the room.
