Behavior Program Description

Using the Expanded Menta Method and highly qualified trained Menta staff, the Tolleson Union School District serves the needs of their students with disabilities through a continuum of fluid supports and services leading to improved post-school outcomes.

These structured classrooms provide students with universally designed learning opportunities on the general education campus. These learning opportunities provide students with two levels of intervention:

• The first level of support is aimed at providing interventions that will allow the student to successfully remain on the general education campus. Student interventions are individually designed so students can gain the social emotional skills necessary for success in the general education setting and when appropriate additional academic supports and tutoring.
• The second level of supports is for those students who are reintegrating from separate therapeutic settings. Reintegration plans are designed to provide the student with the supports necessary for success on the general education campus. The reintegration process focuses on supporting the student, the school community, and the families during the student’s reintegration.

The Menta Group believes that preparing students for a changing world requires an unrelenting focus on developing the skills necessary to be college, career, and citizenship ready upon graduation, serving students in the least restrictive setting, and providing the services necessary to help students successfully transition from school to adult life. For this reason, we strive to collaborate with the communities in which we serve and provide educational services in the communities in which our students live. Through partnerships, we are better able to broaden the quality of services provided and to increase student and community success.
