The needs vary for each child with a disability but include education and related services.

Special education and related services should be designed to meet the unique learning needs of eligible children with disabilities, preschool through age 21.

Federal law mandates that each student receiving special education and related services must have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) developed for them.

A Free Appropriate Public Education means special education and related services that:

The district provides special education and related service to resident children with disabilities who are ages three through twenty-one.

LAWMO also ensured that she received the special education and related services she was entitled to under federal law.

Eligibility for special education and related services begins when a child is 3.

The IDEA guides how states and school districts provide special education and related services to more than six million eligible children with disabilities.

The District engages in identification procedures to ensure that eligible students receive an appropriate educational program consisting of special education and related services, individualized to meet student needs.

Placement of students with IEPs must be made in the least restrictive environment in which the student's needs can be met with special education and related services.
