Birch Academy Students Randy Gamez (cq), left, and Ashlee (cq) Garcia, third from left, walk from art class to gym class with Mt Pleasant High School students, sophomore Veronica Northup, second from left, and senior Deana Clerjuste at Mt. Pleasant High School in Providence, R.I., last week. The U.S. Justice department, in an investigation, found the former Birch Vocational School in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act as the students were kept segregated and given small jobs. The entire program has been revamped to integrate students with intellectual disabilities into classrooms with typically developing peers. Currently, many of the ancillary classes are integrated.
