Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Special Education
Mission: For children with special educational needs and their families, the frankie lemmon school and development center provides life-changing, highly-specialized, individualized education and therapies in a setting with a very low student-to-teacher ratio. This high-quality education prepares the children for a lifetime of maximized education as well as successful participation in family and community life. The school's philosophy of education is that all children, regardless of different abilities, are children first. This implies consideration of the child as an individual with special human needs and rights who is an integral part of his or her family and community. The school curriculum addresses all areas of child development in a sequential developmental and early academic program. The frankie lemmon school and development center is a blend of self-contained classrooms and an inclusion program that is a unique collaboration with wake county public schools.
Programs: The frankie lemmon school provides education for children with developmental disabilities and delays in an all inclusive setting which includes typical children. Currently the school is serving 70 children, and ultimately plans to reach the maximum capacity of 125 children in the future. Of the 70 children, 49 have special needs and 21 are typically developing. Services provided include speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and vision and hearing services, which are customized for each child.
