Y.A.L.E. School Williamstown

Y.A.L.E. School Williamstown provides full-day educational programming to children with emotional/behavioral disabilities, specific learning disabilities and/or multiple disabilities. The school, which serves students 5 to 21 years old, is located in Williamstown.

Y.A.L.E. School Williamstown is designed to meet the special needs of its students. To achieve this:

  • Every classroom is equipped with state-of-the art educational technology, including computers and software.
  • The school has a well-equipped visual arts and graphic design laboratory. The laboratory helps students develop marketable skills while encouraging them to express themselves.
  • The school provides older students with critical services to prepare them for life after graduation. These services include an extensive transition curriculum, vocational planning and support, job skills training and mentoring, and practical experience in typical "real world" situations.

To ensure the best instruction possible and to maximize students' accomplishments, staff are evaluated regularly and are required to meet several performance outcomes based on applied behavior analysis methods that have proven highly effective with students with special needs. Accordingly, students' goals are objectively measured and data graphed daily. Changes to a student's program are based on the student's individual performance trends and task completion criteria, as well as the student's IEP.

To help students achieve their IEP goals, Y.A.L.E. School Williamstown emphasizes:

  • A low student-to-staff ratio
  • Applied Behavior Analysis
  • Communication and social skills training
  • Ongoing program review
  • Ongoing training of teaching and support staff
  • Transition planning and support

To help parents and guardians better understand and support with their children, Y.A.L.E. School Williamstown stresses collaboration between staff and family. To facilitate this, Y.A.L.E. School Williamstown provides parents and guardians with:

  • Detailed academic and behavioral progress reports
