School age programs and services are provided to children ages 6 to 21 who have one of the 13 defined disabilities and need specially designed instruction. The Special Education Division partners with the 22 school districts of Montgomery County, institutions, or places of employment. The school age programs and services fall into three broad areas: Classroom programs, Itinerant programs (a staff member works with the individual student) or services which are dependent upon a particular area of expertise (i.e. Assistive Technology, Behavior Management, Professional development or District program reviews).
The entire Special Education Division has one main goal: Student achievement and success for students with disabilities throughout their school career and beyond graduation. This goal is accomplished through collaboration with the students, other divisions within the Intermediate Unit, parents, school districts and community agencies. The Special Education Division provides best practices through innovative programs and services delivered by outstanding staff and leaders. We continually work with our parents in various parent organizations, workshops, or trainings. In summary, the Special Education division focuses on providing programs and services to students with disabilities ages 3 to 21 through a variety of state and local partnerships. All partnerships are geared for student achievement and success.
