We have one group of 10 high functioning SDC student with no physical disabilities among the 80 students”) o Principal establishes a Single Entry Point for the Assembly • Regional Managers will be seating students “Disneyland Style” by asking teachers how many students are in their group • In order for this to work, all classes should arrive through the same entry point, one class at a time, and with the teacher at the front of a single-file line of students o Send out a reminder to those attending on a given day, specifying time and length of the IME • Ask teachers to arrive at the Single Entry Point, with their students following them in a single-file line.
