DESCRIPTION PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL BUILDING
Dr. J. P. Lord is a program within the Omaha Public Schools for students with multiple disabilities. The majority of our students have severe mental and physical disorders, and they are considered to be the most medically fragile children in our District. Students range in age from 5 - 21. The major focus areas for our students include communication skills, motor skills, life skills, and wellness. Students in our program take the Nebraska Alternate Assessment and they are learning basic math, literacy, science, and social science skills. Access to computers, Smart Boards, and other technology has provided students greater opportunities to participate in many learning activities. Students attend many age-appropriate events throughout the year such as homecoming, prom, and graduation. Students also enjoy community-based learning opportunities and reverse integration with community volunteers, who participate in student activities in the classrooms. We are proud to be J. P. Lord Pandas!
