About Pisgah
Pisgah is an integrated program that allows for children to get the support of a full-time Special Education teacher, along with related providers, hired by SAR, while also allowing for students to be in a General Education classroom. This hybrid approach allows for strong peer models as well as the intensive support students may need.
