Exceptional Child Education

Exceptional Child Education (ECE) programs are designed to meet the needs of the student whose approach to learning is different from that of his/her peers. The school District is committed to providing a high-quality education for the student with disabilities.

Exceptional Child Education programs are provided to students with disabilities in Comprehensive and special education programs facilities/agencies.

Each student's Individual Education Program (IEP) outlines the specially designed instruction needed.
