Special Education/ Disabilities Services Overview
Special Education Programs
provide a continuum of services for students having significant academic,
social, emotional, psychological, behavioral and/ or physical difficulties that
interfere with their learning experience.
á
Special Education
Programming is offered to those students who have qualified for special
education services through the District 196 Child Study Process. This procedure involves referral to the child study team, parent permission for assessment, assessment and evaluation of student needs, team determination of meeting qualifying criteria, and program decision making and planning with staff, parent/guardian and the student.
á
Special Education
Services at SES occur mainly within the regular mainstream curriculum and
classrooms. Depending on the
identified student need, services may include implementing appropriate
accommodations or modification with the mainstream teachers to promote student
success, providing academic skills teaching and coaching, coordinating
communication between parties involved and providing post-secondary special
education guidance.
á
Students who have an
active IEP from their home high school should contact their case manager to
have their IEP and Special Education File transferred to SES so that services
will not be interrupted. It is important
that the SES Disabilities Services Coordinator be notified as soon as possible
of the registration and transfer of all students with disabilities. This notification may be provided by
the student, the parent/guardian or the home high school case manager.
