    • IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) are developed to provide specially designed instruction tailored to each student's unique needs at no cost to families.
    • Various programs and placements are available to meet diverse learning profiles, from inclusion support to separate classrooms. Related services also support academic and life skills development.
    • The number of students who qualify for and benefit from special education continues to grow as their understanding of learning variations increases.
