Support Services 

GMS offers a continuum of services for those students who have special needs that fall within the guidelines of special education. A staff of special education teachers and full time paraprofessionals serve the current population of students in a wide variety of ways. Itinerate speech language pathologists; occupational and physical therapists; vision and hearing specialists; and technology experts are also available and in the building weekly. Most students are provided service within inclusion classrooms where they are able to maintain grade level work. There are also Learning Labs in the building that are available for individual or small group instruction. Teachers are assigned students by grade levels and can provide service to students in the general education classroom, in one of the Learning Labs, or by consultation with their classroom teachers. GMS is also able to address needs such as social deficits with a daily small group social skills class and organizational issues with daily directed study groups at every grade level. In addition, a school psychologist is available to do testing and observations and to assist the special education team in better understanding the learning and emotional needs of students.
