The term special education means specifically designed instruction to meet
the unique needs of a child with a disability.
Specially designed instruction means
adapting, to the needs of the child, the content, methodology or delivery of
instruction. The instruction is adapted
as needed to address the child’s unique needs related to the child’s disability
and to ensure access to the general curriculum.
It is an individualized program and not a “one size fits all”.
As a parent, you are encouraged
to conference with your child’s teacher or the educational diagnostician
regarding your child’s needs at any time you have questions or concerns. This is especially important if you are
concerned that your child is not making progress or needs more than what is
being done.
You can find more information
regarding special education on the web at http://www.stanton.esc18.net. On the left of the page under “Other Links”,
you will see the link to the 87-20 Special Education Cooperative. You can also reach the Educational
Diagnostician by calling the 87-20 SSA at 267-6013.
