Special Education Services Department Description
A continuum of support services are available for students with disabilities. Programs range from supports and services provided in the regular education classroom to special education content area classrooms for instructional or functional academic needs.
Each Special Education Services teacher serves as a case manager to a group of students with disabilities. The case manager serves as a team member with the student’s counselor, social worker, and general education teachers in supporting the student with special needs. The Department Program Coordinator and the Special Education Services Social Worker serve as coordinators of IEP meetings.
The Department’s services are coordinated by the Director of Special Education Services and supported by psychologists, social workers, speech language pathologists, special education teachers, itinerants, and ParaEducators.
