What is Special Education (SPED)?
Special education is instruction tailored to meet the specific needs of your child as outlined on their Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
Providers may include: a learning specialist, the school psychologist, a speech pathologist, and an occupational therapist.
A review of your child’s progress toward their goals will be held every year. Every three years, a re-evaluation will be conducted to ensure that the IEP is fully addressing your child’s current needs.
It is our hope that we can commit to working together as a team through open lines of productive communication, a set standard of expectations, and a culture of respect in order to provide a year of tremendous growth for your child.
