Students who are emotionally disabled or on an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) often feel like they’ve been forced into a path for their education that they don’t want.

By being separated from the general education population, their progress in reading, writing or math can be stifled. They can also miss out on important milestones of growing up.

But charter school system Edkey® Inc. provides a program for these students that not only offers K-12 education, but also gives students the coping and management skills they need to successfully return to general education classrooms.

The KELLY program for emotionally disabled students and the TERRA program for students on the autism spectrum provide the resources, expertise and attention these special education students need.

“Our entire program is therapeutic,” said Keri Gregory, director of special education services for Edkey® Inc. “We want the children to self regulate and learn to manage their behaviors on their own. There’s an on-site counselor who works with us daily to coach on behaviors. Our philosophy is to rehabilitate and get them back out to general ed as quickly as possible.”
