We love our DHH kiddos!

At the beginning of every school year, CLIU21 chooses a theme to follow our mission statement of Helping Children Learn. For 2024 - 2025, we are going Beyond All Limits! As we get ready for the first day of school lift off, see how we are going to the moon for our students and their families! #helphingchildrenlearn #beyondalllimits #specialeducation #education #pennsylvania #departmentofeducation

We're getting ready for back to school!!! Our educators are spending this week at the CLIU main office for Summer Academy! This is where we sharpen our skills, update ourselves on new polices & procedures, and make sure we are ready for a classroom full of students! Are you ready for Opening Day next week?!?! We'll see you at Parkland High School for our high-energy ceremony! #helpingchildrenlearn #openingday #openingday2024 #SpecialEducation #startofschool #classroom

We have so many amazing people who dedicate their life's work to the children and the staff of CLIU21. Occupational Therapist Diane George gave us her best day in and day out for 34 years! Now it's time for her to enjoy retirement! Congratulations on a wonderful career, Diane! #helpingchildrenlearn #retirement #occupationaltherapy #OT #specialeducation

Camping is fun!!! Our G Club girls spent a wonderful couple nights at Girl Scouts Camp Mosey Wood. Shooting archery and row boating on a lake are just a few of the ways they had fun in nature! thank you to Camp Mosey Wood for including and welcoming our students, and thank you to our educators who showed them a great time! #helpingchildrenlearn #girlscoutsofamerica #girlscouts #camping #nature #specialeducation

As the school year is officially over and our educators are enjoying their summer, CLIU21's Executive Director Dr. Gregory Koons reflects on his first year in the position. He sends this message out to everyone at IU21 for their hard work and dedication! Enjoy your time off! We will see you in August! #helpingchildrenlearn #schoolsout #education #specialeducation #classroom #teachers #educators

And here is our last graduation ceremony! Our students from Project SEARCH receive their diplomas after showing their skills in a hospital setting! Our graduates spent the school year interning at Lehigh Valley Health Network's Muhlenberg Campus. A special thank you to LVHN for hosting our program. Thank you to the Ben Yorgey Foundation for the grant money our students received. And of course our fantastic advisors Ursula, Christina and Jackie! These students couldn't have done it without you! #helpingchildrenlearn #ProjectSEARCH #specialeducation #workbasedlearning #graduation

ROCKIN' RETIREMENT! We say goodbye to one of our amazing occupational therapists after 21 years with IU21! Linda Murphy, known as Ms. Linda, celebrated her final week with her Panther Valley School District colleagues during a surprise party! We watched an awesome retirement video from Gabe the Weatherman's Youtube channel. All the decorations around the room were handmade by students using OT practices Ms. Linda uses during her sessions! Linda, we thank you for your dedication to our children and the CLIU mission of Helping Children Learn. #helpingchildrenlearn #retirement #specialeducation #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #linda
