Special Education Services That Meet Students Where They Are

Students who qualify for special education services under IDEA receive individualized support based on their unique learning needs. Our team works with families to implement each student’s IEP and provide specially designed instruction, progress monitoring, and ongoing collaboration.

Services may be delivered virtually through scheduled appointments, webcam, phone, and other appropriate supports based on the student’s plan and team decisions. In addition to our services, students and families can meet with our transition specialist to develop a plan for post-secondary education or vocational training and employment.
