Special Education Administrative Unit

 

Special education is instruction that is specially designed to meet the unique needs of children from birth to age 22 who have disabilities. This is done at no cost to the parents. Special education can include special instruction in the child’s general education classroom, in a special education classroom, or in other settings. This definition of special education comes from the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

 

To refer a child suspected of being disabled or for more information on special education services, contact your local school district. For further assistance or information, please call (209) 736-6020, Veronica Ferdin, Administrative Secretary.
