Dr. James E. West, the first Chief Scout Executive, was himself disabled. Although most of the BSA's efforts have been directed at keeping such boys in the mainstream of Scouting, it has also recognized the special needs of those with severe disabilities. The Boy Scout Handbook has had braille editions for many years; merit badge pamphlets have been recorded on cassette tapes for blind Scouts; and closed-caption training videos have been produced. In 1965, registration of over-age Scouts with mental retardation became possible—a privilege now extended to many people with disabilities. Today, approximately 100,000 Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers with disabilities are registered with the Boy Scouts of America in more than 4,000 units chartered to community organizations.

Contact Us Home Site Map About Us ... Online Giving The Day School The Day School is an Approved Private School for children ages two through 21 who are challenged by cerebral palsy and/or neurological impairment. Over 200 students from more than 60 school districts are fortunate enough to call our Day School, "their school." Progress through Partnerships The Day School staff believes that children are constantly being educated, and that parents are the primary teachers. School is an educator, not the educator. Parental involvement is encouraged in planning and monitoring the student's Individualized Educational Program. Communication and cooperation are essential ingredients to the success of the program. The Day School works with local educational agencies who have the primary responsibility for providing appropriate educational programs for exceptional students in their districts. Once accepted into The Day School, students are considered to be dually enrolled at The Institute and in their local school district, and the districts remain involved in planning and monitoring student programs and progress. Philosophy and Goals The Day School provides quality services to moderately and severely disabled students with different levels of physical, cognitive and emotional functioning. Individualized programs are developed for each student and are reviewed periodically by a transdisciplinary team, including parents or guardians.
