"Its a one to one setting so their are 8 students with 8 staff people, so each child receives direct instruction and all their instruction is based on their individualized family service plan and the goals that we work towards are the outcomes that the parents had stated. So these are goals that were set by the parents to best determine the needs for the family. "
