Special Education
Firebaugh Las Deltas offers a continuum of special education services for students 3 through 21 years of age. Special education services can include specialized instruction in the general education classroom, in a special education classroom, or in other settings. Classes and programs serving students with special needs are located in preschool, elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the district; however, not all programs are available at all sites. In instances where student needs require a site other than the homeschool, students are provided with transportation.
Students may be eligible for special education if they have a disability and if their needs cannot be met through general education programs. The Individual with Disabilities Education Act lists the following disability categories:
- Autism
- Deaf and Blindness
- Hearing Impairment, Including Deafness
- Emotional Disturbance
- Intellectual Disability
- Multiple Disabilities
- Orthopedic Impairment
- Other Health Impaired
- Specific Learning Disability
- Speech or Language Impairment
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Visual Impairment
