Ledyard Public Schools is committed to providing a free and appropriate public education for all students with disabilities. As the Student Services Department, our mission is to ensure that all students with disabilities receive quality instruction that is personalized to meet their individual needs while maintaining high standards of achievement.
The Special Education process is initiated by a written request for an evaluation of a child who is suspected of having a disability and would require specially designed instruction. District personnel, parent/guardian or student can make a referral to Special Education at any time. Once the referral is made and documented in writing, a Planning & Placement Team meeting will be scheduled to discuss the areas of concern noted on the referral, review existing student data and determine if evaluations to determine a disability are warranted. For more information pertaining to the referral process in Ledyard, please review the Ledyard Public Schools: Referral to Special Education Process. |
