The BAISD developmental classroom programs at Bangor Central Elementary serve elementary age students with Moderate Cognitive Disabilities. They are designed to strengthen the educational, social and self-help skills of students who are five through 11 years of age.


The primary goal of these two classrooms is skill acquisition. These skills range from reading, writing and math to participation in activities that encourage the further development of sensory, gross motor, fine motor and communication skills.

The curriculum is structured to address each student's developmental level. All students work toward individualized goals as defined in their Individual Educational Plan (IEP). Parents and guardians are considered essential participants in their child's education.

Students are expected to:
Follow school rules
Listen and attend to classroom activities
Respect each other
Become as independent as possible

Bangor Central Developmental classrooms are housed within a regular elementary school and have been in operation for over 30 years. This classroom setting provides our students with a safe, healthy, age appropriate environment.
