For almost fifty years, Wood Lane School has been a viable educational
alternative for students with varying disabilities.
Wood Lane offers a unique approach to
the flexibility required in providing services for students with special
needs from birth through age 22.
In addition to class room staff, children
also receive services as designated by their individualized educational
program (IEP) that may include: Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy,
Community Education, Music, Behavior Supports, Service Coordination, adaptive
physical education, nursing, transportation, communication and language
development, social interaction, vocational training and job development.
Each class is made up of six to eight students. Each class has one certified
teacher and one classroom aide to meet the needs of each student. One-to-one
assistants are hired on an as needed basis for individuals who need direct
staff assistance on an intensive level. The staff/student ratio is low
to meet the physical, medical and educational needs of the children served
by Wood Lane.
School staff in conjunction with Community Employment Services
of Wood Lane provides vocational training and job development for student's
transition from school to work.
Wood Lane School is a chartered educational facility and meets all standards
as specified by the Ohio Department of Education. Wood Lane provides services
to children who reside in one of the local school districts including: Bowling
Green, Eastwood, Elmwood, Lake, North Baltimore, Northwood, Otsego, Perrysburg and Rossford.
