The mission of Seneca’s Oakland Alameda Public Schools (SOAPS) program is to provide each student with the best individualized academic, behavioral, social, and emotional support possible in the least restrictive environment. The I-CECs include a multidisciplinary team of the district teacher, district teacher’s aide, Seneca Mental Health Counselors, Seneca Classroom Therapist, and a Seneca UE Coach. Through team collaboration, each student’s unique needs and goals are addressed through a personalized treatment plan that includes individual, group, and often family therapy, supported by intensive case management and crisis intervention services. Program services are designed and tailored to enable each individual student the best possible behavioral, therapeutic, and educational support.
The classroom at Think College Now (TCN) is new to SOAPS this year. TCN is a college-focused elementary school in Oakland’s Fruitvale district who’s mission is that all students will have the tools to choose their life’s path and desired occupation with an equitable opportunity to attend college and pursue their dreams. There are currently four 4th – 6th grade students enrolled in the classroom, all of whom are working on specialized behavioral and academic plans. Students receive individual therapy every week as well participate in group social skills, and the classroom therapist is available for check-ins with students as needed. With the support of the classroom team, three students who are partially mainstreaming in general education classes, and the remaining student will be joining their peers very soon.
