Enrollment Requirements

Red Oak offers programming for students with various cognitive impairments.  We believe that all students should have the opportunity to learn independence skills.  At Red Oak, we pride ourselves by exposing the young adult to education in the physical location as well as exposure throughout the community to help prepare them for independent living.   

We also provide consult services in occupational therapy, speech pathology, physical therapy, school psychology, social work, music therapy, and adaptive physical education. 

To be enrolled at Red Oak, a student must be: 

• A resident of one of the following Washtenaw County public school districts: Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Dexter, Lincoln, Manchester, Milan, Saline, Whitmore Lake, or Ypsilanti. 
• Referred by local school personnel. 
• Evaluated by a team of professionals from Red Oak, WISD referral team, and the local school district. Evaluations include a classroom/teacher assessment, a psychological evaluation, and may include an occupational and physical therapy assessment and a speech and language assessment. 

If the student is determined to be eligible for programming at Red Oak placement is based on level of independence, social maturity, and physical development.
