In Mrs. Grant's classroom at RED, Mrs. Tyler (Speech Therapist), Ms. Terry (Instructional Assistant) and Mrs. Erin Gullette (Occupational Therapist) work collaboratively to support students with varying learning, social and functional needs.

At RED, Ms. Wix (3rd Grade Teacher) and Ms. Hager (Special Education Teacher) co-taught using parallel teaching models.
