The Delta County School District’s Department of Special Education is committed to providing an educational experience based upon the individual needs of each child as prescribed and defined by the federal Individual with Disabilities Education Act and the state Exceptional Children's Education Act. The Department provides specialized instruction for students to minimize the impact of their disability through a continuum of services, ranging from services provided in the general education classroom to fully contained classroom settings. In addition to special education teachers, students with disabilities may receive support from paraprofessionals, nurses, mental health providers, speech language and occupational therapists. The goal of the Department of Special Education is to provide services that will allow students with disabilities to acquire the skill to pursue independent living and post secondary success. If you feel your child needs assessed for Special Education, please contact the Director of Special Services or your child’s building principal.
