The Joseph Sams School

The Joseph Sams School is a private, non-profit school in Fayetteville, Georgia, serving children from birth through twenty-two years of age who have mild to severe intellectual and developmental disabilities. The school's Early Intervention Program provides part-day special education instruction and therapies for children from birth through four years of age, with infant stimulation and preschool sessions. School-age programs support students through their educational years with individualized instruction, and post-secondary transition programming extends services through age 22. Staff work closely with private therapists, physicians, and county educational agencies to provide comprehensive programs, and the school also provides consultative services to programs throughout Georgia developing similar intervention strategies. The Joseph Sams School serves families from several Georgia counties and is approved to accept students enrolled in the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS/SB10) program.
