Educational Placement

When considering your child's placement, request to see any and all programs that may be of benefit to your child, and remember that what you’re requesting to see shouldn’t be more restrictive than what your child requires to access their education.

These are separate schools for students with various disabilities. There are no general education students on campus. All specialists are in-house and readily available to support students.

IDEA states that every public agency (including public schools and districts) is required to ensure that children with disabilities be educated with children who are not disabled to the maximum extent appropriate.

In the push-in model, the resource teacher can enter the student’s general education class to provide IEP goal support.

There are two types of Special Day Classes. Mild/Moderate Special Day Class is a more restrictive class, which uses the general education curriculum. Moderate/Severe SDC Class uses a modified curriculum, often called “Life Skills” or “Functional Skills.”

Educational placement options in an IEP include instruction in a general education classroom, specialized classes, specialized schools, home instruction, and instruction in residential facilities.
