How do Edison district partnership schools serve students with special needs?
The special education team at Edison Schools ensures that the Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) of all special-needs children are followed. Most special-needs students attending Edison charter schools are served through a flexible model known as responsible inclusion. Under this model, special education students are full participants in regular classrooms, with additional in-class support from certified special education teachers and related service staff (e.g., speech/language therapist, etc.) as needed.
