 If services are deemed appropriate, a clinician will be assigned and services will begin.  The DMCC provides a monthly report to the directors of special education. The report includes a list of students who are currently served by the DMCC as well as an update for each referral that is in process. SAP Student Assistance Program The Desert/Mountain Children’s Center (DMCC) Student Assistance Program (SAP) serves students, their families, and the school community. Students who are dealing with non-academic barriers to learning are the primary target for SAP services. Students are referred by staff, parents, or concerned others to the program. Students may also self-refer. The purpose of SAP is to:  To reduce the risk factors, barriers, and stressors of kids, youth, and their families.  To provide appropriate strategies, interventions, and activities to school staff and families that increase their knowledge of social, emotional, and behavioral issues.  To increase student awareness of the issues they face daily, including the social emotional choices that impact their lives.  To build protective supports for students and their families that include significant connections to others, training, and education.
