special education programs

Tailored instructional services

Special education programs are educational services designed for students with disabilities or learning differences that prevent them from thriving in standard classroom settings.

These programs provide individualized instruction, accommodations, and support tailored to each student's needs: Her son qualified for special education programs after his dyslexia diagnosis.

In the U.S., such programs are mandated by federal law and typically outlined in an Individualized Education Program (IEP).
