  Multi-Needs Programs

   NDSEC's programs for students identified with cognitive, physical, or multiple disabilities    utilize a trans-disciplinary team model in supporting the needs of students with    development difficulities.

   

  Emotional Disabilities Program

   NDSEC's programs for students with emotional disabilities utilize a modified "Boys       Town" model of teaching and integrating pro-social behavior for students with emotional    difficulities.

 

  Lincoln Academy

   Lincoln Academy is the alternative school for NDSEC. The program at Lincoln   Academy is designed for junior high and high school students with emotional needs that   cannot be successfully met within a traditional school environment.
