Special Services At-Home Learning Resources and Support

The resources listed below are intended to provide our students with meaningful activities related to their special needs and to help the adults in their homes during this time of At-Home learning.  We encourage and recommend that our students and their families explore these additional resources and use those they find helpful for addressing their individual needs.  

At-Home Learning is a new experience for everyone and may bring up needs that we did not expect for our students who have disabilities.   Please contact your student’s special education teacher or their campus if you have questions. When you need our support, we are here to help.paw print
