Department Vision
We are united in a commitment to ensure that all students become productive citizens through the implementation of purposeful inclusion. 

Department Mission
The Department of Special Education serves equitably through positive relationships as a safe, collaborative community to ensure all learners acquire the knowledge, skills, and qualities to become responsible, caring and ethical citizens. By providing specialized instruction, allowing for individual differences and learning styles, developing independence, and by fostering the capacity of our educators, all students will be empowered to reach their full potential. 

Special Education is specially designed instruction, at no cost to the family, to meet the needs of a child with a disability.  Special Education involves modification of the curriculum or the way the curriculum is taught to meet the specific needs of the student.  Related services may also be provided to ensure the child has all the necessary tools to meet educational standards.
