MULTIPLY HANDICAPED

MULTIPLY HANDICAPED is a public school that is part of the Bergen County Special Services School District school district, located in Paramus, NJ with about 65 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 5 teachers, MULTIPLY HANDICAPED has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The facility located at 540 Farview Avenue in Paramus, New Jersey, is a specialized educational site operated by the Bergen County Special Services School District (BCSSSD). Known for its focused programming, the school is dedicated to serving students with significant and multiple disabilities. Its primary mission is to provide a highly structured, therapeutic, and academic environment that addresses the complex physical, cognitive, and sensory needs of its student population, ensuring they receive specialized instruction tailored to their individual requirements.

The school is noted for its interdisciplinary approach, integrating intensive special education services with clinical support. The curriculum typically emphasizes the development of functional life skills, communication abilities, and social-emotional growth, often incorporating assistive technology and therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy. By providing a supportive and accessible campus, the school aims to empower students to achieve their maximum level of independence while fostering a safe and inclusive community for families and learners within the Bergen County area.
