Yellow Submarines

Classroom 4, also known as Yellow Submarines, consists of pre-teens and young adults whose emergent language systems include oral language, sign language, picture symbols, and other symbolic means of communication.  Daily routines enable students to expand their communicative capacity, and accumulate successful communication experiences in a variety of contexts within and beyond the classroom.  Class projects develop executive functioning skills and support independence through verbal, visual, and gestural prompting, and through the gradual fading of those prompts.  Functional academics such as mathematics, writing, and reading, are developed in a variety of multi-modal classroom instructional activities appropriate to each student.
