The Child Study Team may
provide consultative, preventive, and support services to all students, and may
advise the general education staff regarding techniques, materials and programs
for students experiencing difficulties in learning. If a student is suspected
of having a disability, a request for an evaluation is made to the Child Study
Team. If the Child Study Team, parent, and regular education teacher determine
that an initial evaluation is necessary, a plan is developed to determine the
nature and scope of the evaluations.
In order to meet the needs of students who are ultimately classified as disabled, the high school offers a range of program options. Within the high school, departmentalized Resource Programs may be provided for students who are determined to be eligible for special education. These Resource Programs are taught by teachers of the handicapped and are available for replacement of regular instruction in basic subjects. Special instruction may be provided in either small groups outside of the regular class or through supported instruction within the classroom. There are other options available outside of the high school also. We always seek to provide the educational program in the least restrictive environment - in the home school - whenever possible. Further information about Child Study Team services is available in a booklet called "A Guide to the Child Study Team Evaluation" available in guidance or the Special Services offices.
