OFFICE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION
The mission of NCLUSD Department of Special Education is to support all students with disabilities in achieving their highest potential in the areas of academics, communication, social skills and life skills to become included, productive, members of the community
Services and Programs
Students may receive any combination of services, based on their IEP, including:
Speech and Language Support - Speech and language specialists provide support for articulation, voice, fluency, and language disorders.
Specialized Academic Instruction - Special Education teachers provide educational planning, special instruction, tutorial assistance, or other services to exceptional individuals in special programs or regular classrooms.
Special Day Classes - Students are grouped with others who share similar instructional needs. Each class has a credentialed special education teacher and an instructional aide.
Adaptive physical education, nursing services, counseling support, behavior support, occupational therapy, and other services are available when a student's IEP determines this need.
Special Education for Preschoolers
Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District provides a continuum of special education and related services to preschool students between the ages of three and five years old who are identified as having a disability. These services are designed to meet each student's unique special education needs and the goals set by the student's Individual Education Program (IEP) team.
