Special Education

Plano ISD advocates for all students with disabilities to receive instruction to the maximum extent appropriate with their non-disabled peers. A continuum of services is provided to students through a close collaboration between the campus level and the district level on overall programming and on individual students needs.

Inclusion

Students may receive all or part of their instruction in a general education classroom with support from Special Education and related service personnel. The student's general education classroom teacher is a critical component in the instructional process. Qualified Special Education personnel are involved in the implementation of the student's IEP within the general education setting.

Resource

Students requiring specially designed instruction (SDI) beyond what can be provided in a general education classroom may receive instruction in a Special Education setting. The amount of time a student spends in this setting varies depending on the student’s specific needs. A student may receive instruction in a Special Education classroom for a portion of any academic subject and the rest of instruction in general education classes. Behavior supports can be provided in the resource environment based on the student's prescriptive ARD.
