Living The Blessed Life

The Individual Education Program outlines a course of action that will be taken to provide services in the least restrictive environment.  Special needs can range from learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral disorders, physical disabilities, communication disabilities, or developmental disabilities. An individual plan allows each child to receive a customized plan for an education, as well as transitions beyond high school. Celestine A.

Every child deserves a free education regardless of the disability.  The Individuals with Disabilities Act make it possible for this to happen.  Thousands of children have disabilities.  Each child can learn with a specialized plan.

Federal law called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) governs special education.  The best part about the services is that they are free.  There is no cost to the parent.  Instruction, support, and environment are specially designed to meet the needs of students.

Accommodations are also used to allow students to benefit from the same curriculum.   Mainstreaming is used when students with special needs are educated in a special education classroom.  Their interaction with regular education students are limited to specific time periods based on their skill level.
