Issaquah School
District
The
Issaquah School District Special Education program serves more than 1500
students with disabilities from ages three to twenty-one years. Special Ed.
staff include special education teachers, school psychologists, speech language
pathologists, behavior specialists, mental health consultants, occupational
therapists and educational assistants. As specified in federal and state law,
students with disabilities are served in the least restrictive environment to
the maximum extent possible. Thus, at all schools in the district, there are
special needs students participating as appropriate in general education
classrooms and general education curriculum.
Special
education services include individualized, specially-designed instruction in
academic, self-help, communication, motor, vocational and social skill areas.
Individual Education Programs (IEPs) are developed at least annually. Goals and
objectives are written for each student based on the results of formal and
informal testing and observations. The district carefully sequences instruction
and maintains data about student progress.
