SPECIAL NEEDS

We welcome students with special needs, but HEC is not a school and our teachers are not trained nor do we offer special needs class or have the tools to provide services or accommodations for students with special needs. You will need to contact each individual vendor with their policies making sure that the class is a good fit for your child. Our instructors will try their best to help with any reasonable needs that a child may need not outside of what they are able to do in a 55 minute once a week class that will not inhibit them from teaching the rest of the class or putting other students needs or safety at risk.

​

The school that your child is enrolled with might be able to provide accommodations. If your child is at risk of eloping or concerning behavior that can put themselves, the teacher or other students at risk of safety, it may not be a good fit. You may need to speak to your child's school to provide accommodations.

If you have a special needs child with an aide, these are the steps to move forward with using such aides:

  1. Contact the vendor to talk about your child's needs and to make sure the class is a good fit for your child.​

  2. If it is a good fit and agreed upon by both parties, email the vendor cc'ing the vendor, HEC and your child's school or ABA therapist giving permission to have an aide in class with your child with the name of the aid and proof of doing background checks.

  3. The company needs to respond cc'ing the vendor, the parent and HEC, providing the aide's proper credentials, the name of the aide that will be in class with your child, also providing a guarantee of background check.

  4. Upon arrival to class, the aid needs to have proper credentials with their ID showing their name & company. 

  5. In class, the aide should be working with that student only and not be interrupting the teaching of the instructor or working with any other students in the class.

  6. If the student has any behaviors like screaming, yelling or aggressive behavior, the aid needs to take the child out of the class.

  7. The aide cannot leave the student in the class by themselves unless the teacher is in agreement.

  8. The aide cannot be on their phone in class.
