Behavior Modification

As a special needs prep school in Bergen County NJ, we offer programs to help students with behavioral issues.

Special Needs Prep School in Bergen County NJ

Our behavior program helps each student achieve his/her maximum social and emotional growth. Through positive reinforcement, students become aware of their behavioral outcomes. This motivates students to develop more appropriate coping skills and therefore learn better ways to conduct themselves across multiple settings, encouraging both academic and behavioral improvements. As a result, students experience a sense of self awareness, responsibility and achievement.

The behavior modification program encompasses a point system by which students earn points for meeting academic and behavioral expectations. Earned points can be used to shop in the school store. These points also translate into a placement on our three-tiered level system which provides for additional privileges. These privileges may include athletics, field trips, and community service activities.

School Store

Students who exhibit positive behaviors by meeting school-wide expectations are rewarded with “earned points” which are redeemable at the school store. Students can spend points weekly or save them for a more valuable item. Our store is fully stocked with a wide variety of items including games, clothes, electronics, and personal products. Purchasing items from the school store allows our students to experience the rewards of hard work.

This dedication to students help to set us apart as a special needs prep school in Bergen County NJ.
