Special Education Support
What is Special Education?
The term “special education” means specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of a child with a disability. At no cost to parents, Special Education provides additional services, support, programs, specialized placements or environments to ensure that all students’ educational needs are met.
Support and services are provided in the least restrictive environment and the special Education curriculum addresses the Texas Essential Knowledge and skills (TEKS) mandated by the state for all students in Texas. An Admission, Review and Dismissal Committee (ARDC) or (ARD) individualizes the specific curriculum objectives, instructional accommodations, mastery level and location of services for each student based on the impact of the student's disability on his/her ability to progress in the state curriculum.
