| The Special Education Department at Spaulding High School provides
instructional, resource and counseling services to those educationally
disabled students who have unique educational needs which can be
met only through specially designed school programs.
Eligible students may receive a variety of services. For example,
some students may be scheduled for mainstream academic classes which
are modified to accommodate students’ specific strengths and
weaknesses. Other students may be scheduled for self-contained classes
taught within the Special Education area.
To take advantage of any program, students must follow the procedures
established by the Guidance and Special Education Departments and
by the District Placement Team. All procedures are governed by the
New Hampshire Standards for the Education of Handicapped Students.
An Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) is developed and followed
for each special education student.
Enrollment in any courses offered by the Special Education Department
is by IEP team recommendation. Eligibility for a Modified Diploma
will be decided by the IEP team as part of developing an appropriate
educational plan for the student. Skills level classes count towards
requirements of a Modified Diploma or as elective credits towards
a Standard Diploma. Course selections for incoming students who
are working at the Skills level will be determined at the IEP team
meeting in the spring. If unsure of status, select courses from
regular education course descriptions.
