Special Education Services

Special education services are available to students from ages 3 through 21 who experience disabilities. Individual special education programs are cooperatively developed by a child-study team which includes parents, teachers, administrators and, when appropriate, other specialists. These teams make every effort to provide the appropriate special education program to children in a setting as close to the regular classroom as possible.
