Special Education programs and services
Special education services are available for kindergarten
students who have disabilities:
• If the disability meets state criteria, and
• If the child demonstrates the need for services.
Parents/guardians are invited to participate as team
members with the kindergarten teacher and special
education teacher in developing an individual education
plan (IEP) to meet their child’s specific special educa-
tion needs. In general, students with disabilities who are
kindergarten-age will attend the school that serves their
neighborhood.
There are a number of center-based special education
programs that are geographically located throughout the
district. These programs serve students with severe dis-
abilities who require intensive special education services
not available in the neighborhood school.
