Kevin G. Langan School at Albany
Langan School provides educational services for K-12 students from 58 districts in the Capital District region and beyond, serving students who have multiple disabilities, autism and traumatic brain injuries.
Our goal is to empower students to achieve independence, community inclusion, and self-determination. We offer a range of support services, including speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, behavioral analysis, and nursing.
Our classrooms utilize the RAAVE and MOVE educational models and reflect an 8:1:4 or 12:1:6 student to staff ratio accordingly. The cornerstone of our educational curriculum is the common core standards-based aligned Unique Learning System and New-2-You Curriculum. Students are provided differentiated instruction across the Common Core subjects of ELA, Math, Science and Social Studies. Additionally, direct instruction is provided in Interpersonal, ADL, and Prevocational skills. Generalization, communication and motor skill training are integrated in the educational program. Ultimately the primary goals and valued outcomes we desire for our graduates include independence, community inclusion and self-determination.

“The Center has been one of the best decisions we have made for Jude. His growth both socially and educationally has been evident and steady to all who know him. He loves going to school and we feel comfortable with him being there with the nursing staff as well as the teachers, therapists, and TAs who are all well trained to work with special needs. All of the students there look happy and are well cared for. The therapy sessions and teachers all give the children their full attention and care.”
Jessica Troiano, parent of a MOVE student
