    Special Education Programs and Services


    Prepared by: Ma. Cristina DL Lopez

    Special Education Programs and Services are designed for those students who are mentally,
    Physically, Socially and/or emotionally delayed. This delay is broadly categorized as a
    developmental delay which places the child behind his or her peers pertaining to overall
    development: physical, cognitive, academic, and social.

    Due to these requirements, students’ needs cannot be met within a traditional classroom
    environment. Therefore, Special Education Programs and Services adapt content, teaching
    methodology and delivery instruction to meet the appropriate needs of each child.

    Educational Placement

    - Also called as Educational Program, as used in IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education
    Act)
    - It is the unique combination of facilities, personnel, location or equipment necessary to
    provide instructional services to meet the goals as specified in the student’s IEP.
    - Take note that educational placement is a set of services, and not just a location. Least

    Restrictive Environment (LRE)

    - Children should learn in the Least Restrictive Environment. Meaning, Children should spend
    as much time as possible with peers who do not receive special education.
    - 2 key Concepts:
    o The child should be with kids in general education to the maximum extent that is
    appropriate.
    o Special Classes and the like should only happen when the child’s learning or thinking
    difference is severe that supplementary aids and services cannot provide the child
    with an appropriate education.
