Special education services are available to any student with a mental, physical or emotional impairment that affects his or her educational performance. For school-age children, this may include autism, deafness, deaf-blindness, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment, learning disability, mental retardation, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, speech or language impairment, traumatic brain injury, or visual impairment (including blindness).

The Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) establishes a prominent and active role for parents and teachers in planning and implementing educational programs for students with disabilities. Parents work hand-in-hand with their child's teachers and other district staff to formulate their child's IEP.

The links to the right provide additional information about the Schalmont Special Education Program. Below, you will also find links to a variety of special education topics. If you have any questions about the special education process, please contact one of the individuals listed below or myself.

Sincerely,
