Special Education and Services

Special Education is a program-planning option for parents, educators, and students when appropriate. The student’s qualifying disability is determined through an evaluation performed by your school. The evaluation will be used to write an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) which includes specially designed instructions to meet the needs of the student.

Special Education is offered at no cost to the parents for students ages 3 to 21. Examples of services include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Early identification and assessment of disabilities
  • Psychological services for educational assessment
  • Modification of the course material within the regular classroom
  • Speech/language therapy
  • Career/vocational education for student transition to employment or higher education
  • Physical therapy
  • Vision and hearing screening
  • Orientation and mobility services
