Exceptional Children

The Exceptional Children Program aims to support students, parents, and staff by developing programs to meet the needs of all learners. Our teachers and staff provide specially designed instruction to ensure that students with disabilities, from age 3 to 21, have access to a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment. The EC Program offers academic and related services for students found eligible through a problem solving model.
