Specialized Instruction
Special Education means "specially designed instruction" under the IDEA. Specially designed instruction means adapting, as appropriate to the needs of an eligible child…the content, methodology, or delivery of instruction to: 1. Address the unique needs of the child that result from the child’s disability; and 2. Ensure access of the child to the general curriculum, so that the child can meet the standards that apply to all children. The focus of the work of special educators is to help students learn the same things that students in the regular classroom are learning.
