Public School Services

THE "APPS" PROGRAM (AIDES PLACED IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS) 

The APPS program of Monmouth-Ocean Educational Services Commission (MOESC) provides paraprofessional staff to students in public schools who are identified as having unique needs. The APPS program provides the assistance that classified students may require to fully participate in their educational setting. This may be on a one-to-one basis, or in an overall classroom support capacity, with the student's Individual Educational Plan and the classroom setting accounting for the variability of the program. 

NURSING 

MOESC works with agencies to provide districts with qualified substitute school nurses to cover short- and long-term absences, school trips, and other needs. 

RELATED SERVICES 

MOESC can offer district related service providers that include Speech-Language Specialists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, and Behavior Specialists for evaluations and/or services. 

CHILD STUDY TEAM
