Shoreline School District 

The Shoreline School District offers a full range of school placement options to serve all district students with disabilities ages three to 21. The district’s philosophy is to provide an individualized program for each student in the least restrictive environment. Every school in the district has at least one special education teacher. Programs cover the full continuum of options including support in the regular classroom, resource rooms and self-contained classes for students who need more support.

Access to all special education programs is through a formal team assessment process initiated at the student’s home school. Once the student is determined eligible as a special education student, the assessment team develops individual goals and makes a placement recommendation. The student’s disabling condition does not dictate program placement. Each student’s placement is based on the student’s individual needs.  A variety of special education programs are designed to meet the needs of individual students. Typical programs may include:

·         Resource Rooms in each school with at least one special education-trained teacher.

·         Self-Contained Programs for the Mildly, Mild/Moderate, Severely and Severely Multiple Disabled with programs based on the assessed individual needs of each student.

·         Programs for Students with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders help students learn to manage their behavior and develop appropriate pro-social skills.

·         Work Study, Pre-Vocational Programs, and Independent Living Skills at the secondary level are community based and geared to move students toward functional independence.

·         Inclusion, in which the student is educated in the regular classroom with specially designed instruction and additional support as necessary.
