SPECIAL EDUCATION
“Special education” is instruction, specific to the student, at no cost to parents, to meet the unique needs of a student with a disability. Special education is an instructional service, not a place. Specialized instruction and support are provided through an Individualized Education Program (IEP) plan, which addresses the student’s unique needs related to his or her disability.
It is important to note that students with disabilities are general education students first. New Discoveries Montessori Academy’s special education program provides a continuum of services and access to an array of services including, but not limited to:
- co-taught classrooms with instruction from a general education teacher as well as special instruction provided by special education teachers licensed in a wide range of disabilities
- school psychology services
- occupational therapy
- speech and language therapy
- behavior intervention
- developmental adapted physical education
