Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES is a supportive environment for individuals who want to change the world for exceptional young people while building rich and rewarding careers for themselves. We look for student-centered, life-long learners who firmly believe in the limitless capability and promise of our students.
Who We Serve
We serve nine school districts in Monroe and Orleans counties in New York State: Brockport, Churchville-Chili, Gates Chili, Greece, Hilton, Holley, Kendall, Spencerport, and Wheatland-Chili.
What We Offer
The Department for Exceptional Children offers half-day and full-day preschool programs, as well as elementary, middle school, high school, and transition classes with small class sizes (six, eight, or twelve students) supported by a teacher and paraprofessionals. Our programs are specifically designed to meet the needs of children with developmental, intellectual, learning, physical, emotional, and/or behavioral disabilities, as well as children with autism and medical needs.
Our Students
Our students have special needs in one or more of the following categories:
• Intellectual Disability
• Medically Complex
• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Emotional Disturbance
• Learning Disability
• Multiple Disabilities
• Deafness
• Deaf-Blindness
• Hearing Impairment
They require a smaller, personalized environment with specialized materials and techniques to reach their full potential. Most classes are located in local school district buildings, allowing students to interact with their peers and participate in typical school routines and activities. Additionally, some special center-based sites accommodate multiple classes.
