Special Education

 

Welcome to the Department of Exceptional Students, where our mission is to provide comprehensive support and services to students with disabilities, ensuring they receive a high-quality education tailored to their unique needs. Our department proudly serves students aged three through twenty-one, offering a range of programs designed to foster academic achievement and enhance postsecondary opportunities.

We are dedicated to fulfilling the mandates of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) by developing, reviewing, and implementing Individualized Education Programs (IEP). By breaking barriers in education, our services provide access across a spectrum of instructional supports from inclusive to specialized environments, adapting to each student's specific requirements to promote progress and accessibility to the Georgia Performance Standards.

In partnership with students, families, schools, and community members, we strive to elevate academic performance through specialized instruction dictated by the IEP. Our efforts extend beyond the classroom to include extensive professional development for educators, comprehensive educational assessments, and a robust network of support ranging from behavioral and speech therapies to assistive technologies.

Together, we are committed to enhancing the educational experience of our students through continuous collaboration and fostering environments that support learning and growth. By doing so, we are building a better tomorrow, today—preparing our students for future success and cultivating an inclusive community that values every student's potential.
