    What We Do

     

    Mainstream/In-Class Support Services

    Special education services are frequently provided through in-class support services in the general education classroom. This allows 91ÖÆƬ³§ to provide specially designed instruction to students with disabilities that (a) address the unique needs of the student that result from his/her disability and (b) ensure the student's access to the general curriculum.

    Monitoring student progress in and of itself does not constitute a special education service. A student with a disability served solely in the general education classroom (mainstream) must have:

    • An IEP specifying the Special Education and related services that enable the student to access the general curriculum and to make progress toward his/her individual goals and objectives, and
    • Qualified Special Education personnel involved in the implementation of the student's IEP through the provision of direct, indirect, and/or support services (a) to the student in the general education classroom and/or (b) in collaboration with the student's General Education Teacher.
