Special Education
The Resource team at Creekside Elementary consists of Resource Teachers, a School Psychologist, Behavior Analyst, Occupational Therapists, Speech Language Pathologists, and SPED Para professionals.
The team provides services to students identified with special needs through a legal document called an Individual Education Plan (IEP) that is mandated within the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Students receive support for a variety of reasons, which may include learning challenges, Autism Spectrum Disorders, speech and language difficulties, physical and/or emotional disabilities.
Curriculum
According to Federal law, students are provided with support services in their regular classroom whenever possible. However, in some cases, children may need additional or alternative instruction to improve their skills outside of the general education classroom.
