Therapeutic Support Program (TSP)
Therapeutic Support Program (TSP)
This program is designed to meet the needs of students who are pursuing their NYS Regents Diploma as determined by their CSE. Students participate in a general education curriculum. This program is offered at the middle school and high school level in district-based settings, for students who require small group instruction in a therapeutic setting. Students in this program primarily present with mental health challenges that significantly interfere with the students' ability to be educated and supported within a typical general education classroom environment. Students needs are met through highly structured classroom settings with counseling and instructional support. Students have access to mainstream classes as appropriate.

This program provides students with transition support, career awareness, and vocational experiences and skills necessary for students to attain the Career Development and Occupational Studies Credential (CDOS) or Career and Technical Education (CTE) certification. Districts are responsible for providing transportation services for students to be able to attend programs located at the Career Service Center in Valhalla. Southern Westchester BOCES can provide transportation services for a fee that would be billed separately to participating districts.
