Advertising Trail To Success The Todd Melucci Story Original story from the Providence Journal Todd's teachers were amazed at his abilities. They were especially astounded by his mathematical skills and quickly advanced him to a higher level. Todd continued at that pace throughout grade school and high school. He graduated from Lincoln High School and continued his education at the Community College of Rhode island. After two years of studying business at CCRI, his individualistic urges also told him that there existed a need for him to be his own boss in life. Todd followed his urges and utilized his knowledge constructively. He started his own company, Alpine Fabrics, in 1993. This small company was only a stepping stone for the young entrepreneur. In 1995, he spread his wings out to his current business, Alpine Enterprise Corporation. With Todd as the Chief Executive Officer-President, this business has made considerable profit selling state of the art janitorial products.

Extractions: What help your child can get is up to you, the school and the Individualized Education Plan team (IEP) of professionals who chart your childs school program. Some ESY options include summer school, tutoring at home, a private residential program, or a summer camp. Whether you are trying to justify an ESY for your child, or are working with the IEP team to create an effective and enjoyable program, attend the IEP team meeting armed with your documentation and several different ideas on how to implement a summer program. Be creative. Discard the idea that the ESY needs to happen in a classroom or a traditional academic setting. For instance children who need to work on socialization skills belong with their peers. Instead of providing an aide for classroom support, find out if an aide can support the child at a camp. Local cities and towns, YMCAs, Boys and Girls Clubs, the Boy and Girl Scouts and athletic associations provide summer programs that do not exclude children with disabilities. We think that there are countless ways to create and implement an ESY if youre willing to think outside the school. While participation in special programs is at times beneficial, regular programs offer a wider range of opportunities and are offered at more locations. Remember, ESY services, like all other special education services, should be provided in the least restrictive environment. This means that ESY services should allow students with disabilities to interact with children who do not have disabilities. Be sure to explore a variety of resources and programs in your community. You dont need to limit options to specialized or segregated programs just for children with disabilities.
