A full continuum of special education and related services is available to all children ages 3-21, who meet specific eligibility requirements. We are committed to providing services in the least restrictive environment.
The goal of special education and related services is to support each child and address their individual needs. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed in collaboration with parents, general education teachers, and special service staff on a yearly basis minimally.
