Special education services are designed to help students with disabilities learn and succeed in school. This may include providing them with additional support in the classroom, such as one-on-one instruction or assistive technology, or by placing them in a special education classroom or school.

Regular education is not a type of special education service. Special education services are designed to help students with disabilities learn and succeed in school, while regular education is designed for students who do not have disabilities.

An IEP is an individualized education program that is developed for each student with a disability. The IEP outlines the student's educational needs and the services that will be provided to meet those needs.

An IEP is developed by a team of people, including the student's parents or guardians, teachers, and other professionals, such as therapists, counselors, and administrators.

An IEP meeting is held to review the student's progress and make changes to the IEP, if necessary, to develop the student's IEP, and to discuss the student's educational needs.

The LRE for a student with a disability is a regular education classroom with no additional support. This means that the student is able to learn and succeed in a regular education classroom without any additional help.

A 504 plan is a plan that is developed for students with disabilities who do not need special education services but who need accommodations in order to access the general education curriculum.

Examples of accommodations that might be included in a 504 plan include extra time on tests, a note taker, a preferential seating arrangement, and other accommodations that are necessary for the student to access the general education curriculum.

The role of a special education teacher is to provide students with disabilities with the instruction and support they need to succeed in school, to develop and implement IEPs for students with disabilities, and to work with parents and guardians of students with disabilities.

The role of a paraprofessional in special education is to provide students with disabilities with additional support in the classroom, to work with students with disabilities on a one-on-one basis, and to help students with disabilities with their homework.

The role of a related service provider in special education is to provide students with disabilities with services such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy.

The role of a school psychologist in special education is to evaluate students for special education services, to provide counseling to students with disabilities and their families, and to help students with disabilities develop coping mechanisms for dealing with their disability.

The role of a school social worker in special education is to help students with disabilities and their families access community resources, to provide counseling to students with disabilities and their families, and to help students with disabilities develop social skills.

The role of a transition coordinator in special education is to help students with disabilities transition from school to adult life, to provide students with disabilities with information about post-secondary education and employment opportunities, and to help students with disabilities develop independent living skills.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law that guarantees a free and appropriate public education for students with disabilities, provides funding for special education services, and protects the rights of students with disabilities.
