The Shawnee Public Schools staff daycare known as Pup Pack is taking part in the Early Foundations program, which is one of five programs in Oklahoma with a trial model with inclusive days for students who have Autism.
According to Emily Fleming, special education teacher of the Early Foundations Program, the Pup Pack and inclusion program are for infants and preschool age children. We service three and four year olds with Autism; we have a (morning) class and (afternoon) class, Fleming said.
She explained the program started in August of 2019 and provides students an opportunity to belong.
