The Avon Grove School District is committed to educating
students with disabilities within their neighborhood schools.
Special
education supports and services are provided within the regular
education setting, to the maximum extent appropriate. Examples
of these supports and services include instructional and curricular
adaptations, alternative assessment, course modifications, co-teaching
with regular and special education teachers and inclusionary aides,
when appropriate.
Additional services such as speech therapy, occupational
therapy, and/or physical therapy may be provided as related services.
When the presence of a disability is suspected, a comprehensive
multidisciplinary evaluation is conducted to determine the nature
and degree of the student’s needs.
The IEP team including
family members and school personnel develops an Individualized
Educational Program (IEP). The IEP, written annually, describes
academic and/or social goals for the student. Special techniques,
materials and equipment needed to achieve these goals are identified.
A special education teacher is assigned to implement the IEP in
conjunction with the regular classroom teacher(s). Progress toward
each IEP goal is monitored frequently and reported to families
on a quarterly basis.
