About Special Education
What is Special Education?
Special Education is specialized instruction provided for children from birth to age 22 who qualify according to the laws and regulations outlined by the state and federal government.

These are:
- Deaf/Hard of Hearing
- Deaf-Blind
- Visually Impaired
- Speech-Language Impaired
- Specific Learning Disability
- Multiple Disabilities
- Orthopedic Impairment
- Other Health Impairment
- Intellectual Disability
- Established Medical Disability (ages 3-5)
- Emotionally Disturbed
- Autism
- Traumatic Brain Injury
Referral & Identification
A referral may be initiated by a parent/guardian, teacher, physician, the student, school administrator or community agency. Contact your local school for information regarding a referral for assessment if you suspect your student has a disability.

Individualized Education Program (IEP)
What is IEP?
When a student with exceptional needs has been found eligible for Special Education, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed. An IEP is a written document which includes instructional goals and objectives and accommodations and modifications to the general education program based upon the student's educational needs as determined by the IEP team.
Program for Students Ages 18-22
