We are incredibly proud to share that A.E.R.O. has earned state-level recognition and the PBIS Storytelling Badge by the Midwest PBIS Network for the second year in a row! 🎖️✈️

At the center of this milestone is our dedicated PBIS Leadership Team. They didn't just maintain the status quo; they courageously set out to build a stronger framework for our students' success.

The team looked closely at our data and established highly specific goals focused on aligning our diverse programs, improving classroom environments, and expanding tiered behavioral supports. Crucially, their plan includes specific measures for holding themselves and each other accountable to making A.E.R.O. the premier and innovative learning institution that our students truly deserve.

True growth takes courage, and our team has leaned into that challenge completely. Thank you to our PBIS Leadership Team, our staff, and our families for keeping us moving forward!

Welcome to the A.E.R.O. Special Education Cooperative

A.E.R.O. is a low incidence special education cooperative located in Burbank, Illinois.

Since 1963 A.E.R.O. has provided special education programming and an array of related services to students with disabilities residing in the eleven member school districts. The eleven member districts have joined together to maximize their resources and provide a full continuum of special education services.

We provide a safe and nurturing learning environment and are committed to promoting inclusive efforts to maximize the success of students. A.E.R.O. encourages the involvement of students with disabilities as active members in the classroom, school, and community.

We hope you enjoy our website, which was designed to provide helpful information to the community, parents, students, and staff who work with and are served by the Cooperative. Please let us know if you have any ideas which might help us improve our site by contacting us.
