About Us
- The Special Education program in Vineland
is extensive and comprehensive and serves 1700 students. Speech
and language services are provided to additional 250 students.
The special education programs serve children who have disabilities
in the following areas: Auditorily Impaired, Autistic, Cognitively
Impaired, Communication Impaired, Emotionally Disturbed, Multiply
Disabled, Orthopedically Impaired, Other Health Impaired, Preschool
Handicapped, Socially Maladjusted, Specific Learning Disability,
Traumatic Brain Injury, and Visually Impaired.
- Many services are available in the general education curriculum and students are only referred for special education evaluation when a Pupil Assistance Team (PAC team) other professionals, and/or parent finds that there is evidence of a serious disability. Members of the Child Study Team will then evaluate the child after meeting with the parent. Evaluations are given in the child's dominant language. As soon as the evaluation is completed, the Child Study Team will meet with the parents and other educators. This group becomes the Individual Education Program (IEP) Team, which will design a special education program (IEP) if it is determined that the child meets the criteria for special education.
- The special education program is a support program to the general education program. The Core Curriculum Content Standards form the basis of the special education curriculum and are adapted and modified to meet the needs of individual students. Special education services are provided in the general education classroom, the resource room, and in self-contained programs.
- For more information on referral to the Pupil Assistance Committee (PAC), referrals for special education evaluation, or the Special Education program, please contact your child's principal or the Special Education Department at 794-6700, extension 2304.
