Special Education

Glacier Hills provides services to students with a variety of different needs. Currently, the school houses four center-based programs, as well as resource programs for students in grades K-5. These programs may require students to be pulled-out of the mainstream for a minimal amount of time up to the majority of their school day.

These programs provide the following services:

  • Instruction for students with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD)
  • Instruction for students with Emotional/Behavior Disorders (EBD)
  • Instruction for students with Other Health Disorders (OHD) including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), diabetes etc.
  • Instruction for students with Developmental Cognitive Delay - Mild/Moderate (DCD-MI)
  • Instruction for students with Developmental Cognitive Delay - Severe/Profound (DCD-SP)
  • Instruction for students with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
  • Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
  • Speech and/or Language Therapy (SP/L)
  • Occupational Therapy (OT)
  • Physical Therapy (PT)
  • Developmental Adaptive Physical Education (DAPE)
  • Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHOH)
  • Vision Mobility
  • Music Therapy
  • Social thinking Skills

Children may be referred to the child study team by classroom teachers, special education staff, parents, other outside agencies already serving the child, or by the child him/herself (if age-appropriate). All students that go through the Child Study Team will need to have interventions in place in order to determine that the least restrictive environment has been maintained in order to meet the child's needs. Parents and staff members are an essential part of the process and are involved in all decision making regarding possible assessment and/or development of an Individual Education Plan (IEP). It is imperative that the team work together in the interest of the individual in order to best meet the child's needs. Although this process may take a great deal of effort and time, it is important, in order to provide an appropriate service for each student.

Please feel free to contact the school if you have questions regarding the special education services provided at Glacier Hills.
