Secondary School Special Education
Secondary School Special Education refers to the specialized instruction and support provided to students with disabilities in grades 6-12. This education is designed to meet the unique needs of students with various exceptionalities, such as learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, emotional disturbances, physical impairments, and autism spectrum disorders. Secondary School Special Education may include a range of services, such as individualized instruction, accommodations, modifications, related services (e.g., speech-language therapy, occupational therapy), assistive technology, and behavioral intervention. In addition to academic support, this education also focuses on preparing students for post-secondary education, employment, and independent living. Visual Arts Education may be a component of Secondary School Special Education, providing students with opportunities to engage in creative expression, develop artistic skills, and explore visual culture.
