Eligibility of Services
Students receiving specially designed instruction must go through a process of interventions, referral and evaluation before eligibility can be determined. Each student deemed eligible by the Admissions and Release Committee has an Individual Education Plan, with goals and objectives that correspond to the students specific requirements, deficits and strengths. Certified Special Education teachers, Speech/Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapist and Physical Therapist are available professionals who assist the Committee with the Individual Education Plan development, put it into practice and review it for on-going progress.
