There are eleven S.M.I. and S.X.I. classrooms there. We also have two T.M.I. classrooms at Wilson Middle School and three T.M.I. classrooms and one S.X.I. classroom at Roosevelt High School. There are 17 classroom teachers, 33 classroom paraprofessionals, 4 one-on-one paraprofessionals for individual students, 1 C.B.I. paraprofessional, 2 speech therapists, 2 physical therapists, 3 occupational therapists, 1 school nurse, 3 one-on-one nurse's, 1 school psychologist, 1 secretary, and 1 program administrator.

Community Based Instruction:

Here at the Lincoln Center we take students out to various community sites through our Community Based Instruction. (C.B.I) program to enhance everyday tasks through real life experiences. We use various sites to help teach socialization and educational skills and stimulate students in areas such as work habits, socialization, recreation, and community awareness.
