Special education is specially designed instruction to meet the needs of a student with a disability as described in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA) and the Regulations Governing Special Education Programs for Children with Disabilities in Virginia. Through a process of identification, evaluation and eligibility determination, students determined to require special education and related services are provided instruction as indicated in the student’s individualized education program (IEP). The IEP is developed through a collaborative process between parents, teachers, administrators, other service providers and students, when appropriate, and is designed to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE). An IEP is implemented once written parental consent is obtained.
