Woodland Hills School District
provides a free, appropriate, public
education (FAPE) to exceptional students
consistent with the Individuals With
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004
(P.L. 108-446) and Reauthorization 2006.
To qualify as an exceptional student,
the child must be of school-age, in need
of specially designed instruction, and
meet eligibility criteria for one or more
of the following physical or mental
disabilities: Autism, Deaf-Blindness,
Deafness, Emotional Disturbance,
Hearing Impairment including
Deafness, Intellectual Disability, Multiple
Disabilities, Orthopedic Impairment,
Other Health Impairment, Specific
Learning Disability, Speech or Language
Impairment, Traumatic Brain Injury,
Visual Impairment including Blindness,
and in the case of a child that is of
pre-school age, Developmental Delay.
Identification procedures ensure that
eligible students receive an appropriate
program consisting of individualized
special education and related services.
At no cost to parents, these services
are provided in compliance with local,
state and federal laws and planned to
ensure meaningful educational benefit
and student progress. To identify
students who may be eligible for special
education, various screening activities
are conducted on an ongoing basis.
These screening activities may include:
hearing, vision, physical and speech/
language screening; a review of group-
based data (cumulative academic
records, ability and achievement test
scores, enrollment records, report
cards, and health records); and a review
by the building-level team. When
screening results suggest that a student
may need special education services,
Woodland Hills School District will,
with written parent consent, conduct
an evaluation. Parents who suspect
their child may need special education
services may also submit a written
request for an evaluation to the school
principal in any of our school buildings.
Services designed to meet the needs of
exceptional students include: a timely
evaluation and the annual development
of an individualized Education Program
(IEP). Parents are considered to be an
integral and equal partner in the IEP
process. We strongly recommend that
you should be present at IEP meetings.
Woodland Hills School District will
make every effort to ensure parent
participation and satisfaction. The
extent of special education services and
the location for the delivery of those
services are determined by the IEP team
and based on several factors, primarily
upon the student’s identified needs and
abilities. Consideration is also given to
the student’s chronological age and level
of intensity of the specified intervention.
The district provides supplementary aids
and services, such as transportation,
physical therapy and occupational
therapy, as necessary for the student
to benefit from the special education
program.Parents may obtain additional
information about special education
services and programs and parental due
process rights by contacting the child’s
school principal or the Special Education
Office at 412-731-1300 ext. 0147.
