🤔 Wondering if your child qualifies for SEPAC support? Let’s break it down!
🌟 Is your student receiving an Individualized Education Program (IEP)? Students with an IEP are receiving specialized instruction and services tailored to their unique needs. The IEP outlines specific goals, accommodations, and modifications.
🌟 Or does your child have a Section 504 Plan? This plan provides accommodations for students with disabilities who do not require special education but need support to access the general education curriculum.
🌟 What about specialized services? These can include speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, behavioral interventions, or other specialized support services.
🌟 Students diagnosed with conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, or other learning or developmental disabilities may be eligible for special education services.
🍏🍎 SEPACs are there to advocate for and support these students and their families, ensuring they receive the appropriate resources and accommodations. If your child is receiving any of these services, participating in SEPAC can help you stay informed, share experiences, and contribute to improving special education services in your school community.
Together, we can make a difference! Learn more and get involved today.
