North Central Regional Cooperative-NCR
ASDB Northern Region
The North Central Regional Cooperative (NCR) is a voluntary partnership between public education agencies (school districts and charter schools) in northern Arizona and ASDB. The NCR Cooperative staff serves students and families throughout the northern region of Arizona including: Prescott, Verde Valley Region, Sedona, Kingman, Navajo/Hopi Reservation and Flagstaff. School staff and the NCR Cooperative staff work together in local schools to promote success for students who are deaf, blind, hearing impaired or visually impaired.
Mission Statement
The mission of the partnership is for public education agencies and ASDB to work together in an efficient and cost effective manner to enable children and youth with sensory impairments to reach their maximum level of potential by providing appropriate local educational programs and services.
Meeting Student Needs
ASDB's Regional Cooperative Programs are part of the continuum of services available to sensory impaired students through the ASDB agency. Special education services and placement decisions are made by a student's IEP team based on his or her individual needs.
Students served through the NCR Cooperative attend school in their local schools and spend the majority of their school day in the general education classroom with non-disabled peers. Staff from the NCR Cooperative support the local schools in a variety of ways. In some public education agencies, NCR staff assist with the identification and evaluation of sensory impaired students. In other agencies, NCR staff also provide direct services to students through academic instruction, sign language interpreting, orientation and mobility training, and the provision of specialized materials (such as Braille books) and specialized equipment (such as FM amplification systems or CCTVs).
