Hondo Valley Public Schools SPECIAL EDUCATION
HONDO VALLEY PUBLIC SCHOOLS SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
IDEA-B - IDEA-B Application Assists HVPS to provide Special Education and related services to students ages 3-21 with disabilities, and ensures that all children with disabilities receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment and independent living.
Every child is entitled to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE).
When a school professional believes that a student between the ages of 3 and 21 may have a disability that has substantial impact on the student's learning or behavior, the student is entitled to an evaluation in all areas related to the suspected disability.
Creation of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The purpose of the IEP is to lay out a series of specific actions and steps through which educational providers, parents and the student themselves may reach the child's stated goals.
That the education and services for children with disabilities must be provided in the least restrictive environment (LRE), and if possible, those children be placed in a "typical" education setting with non-disabled students.
Input of the child and their parents must be taken into account in the education process.
When a parent feels that an IEP is inappropriate for their child, or that their child is not receiving needed services, they have the right under IDEA to challenge their child's treatment (due process).
