Special Education Support Services
Department Head: Nancy Morgan
Special education services are provided to allow students with disabilities to participate in the school experience within the least restrictive school setting possible. Students may be identified for special education support services at any time during the school year and support may begin as soon as eligibility is determined. Students who are classified through CSE may receive specific services as outlined in their Individual Education Plan (IEP). Individual goals and objectives are addressed in both small group and regular class settings. Livonia offers a continuum of special education services ranging from self-contained classrooms to resource room and consultant teacher services. Other related services may include, but are not limited to, physical therapy, occupational therapy, music therapy, adaptive physical education, speech and language therapy and counseling. Livonia also offers support through transition planning for declassified special education students. |
