SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES
The topic of special education is different from that of early intervention and it starts at age 3. Early intervention focuses on child’s overall development, and a special education focuses on providing child with an education, meanless of disabilities or special needs. The document that spells out child’s needs is the Individualized Education Program (IEP), which includes:
- current skill level of the child,
- annual goal of the child,
- progres tracking of the child,
- special education services for the child,
- duration of services for the child,
- participation in mainstream classrooms for the child,
- testing adaptations for the child,
- statement of transition for the child.
