In existence since 2002, originally at the first Oakland Center as a Literacy Lab then at Monarch School, the Adapted Curriculum Lab moved to its current home at Oakland Meadow School in 2008.
Under the direction of the Instructional Coach for Adapted Curriculum & the GAA, Jessie Moreau, the Lab’s purpose is to provide adapted curricular resources for teachers of students who have significant cognitive impairments in all grades.
New teachers of students from the MOID/SID/PID and Level 1 & 2 Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) programs from throughout GCPS visit the Lab with their students as part of their Community-Based Instruction (CBI) program. Interactive grade-level English/Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies activities that have been adapted for students’ cognitive, sensory, and physical needs are modeled by the Instructional Coach and include the use of AAC and/or other Assistive Technology.
The Curriculum Lab also produces adapted curricular materials that are sent to teachers throughout the county. Teachers may also avail themselves of the Adapted Curriculum Lending Library, where sets of already created materials are loaned out for three week periods.
