STUDENT
LEARNING OBJECTIVES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
According
to the State Education Department, students with disabilities are expected
to
receive a free and appropriate education within the general education environment
to the maximum extent possible. Therefore, the learning objectives that apply
to general education students in Grades K-12, also applies to students with
disabilities.
It
is important to note that students who reside in the Westbury School District
and who have been classified by the Committee on Special Education (CSE) receive
programs and services
based on an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP). The relative success of
a student with
disabilities benefiting from instruction in a general education setting depends
on the extent
of the disability. Thus, the role of the CSE is to determine the appropriate
program and
services for classified students within the Least Restrictive Environment
(LRE).
The
Westbury School District provides a continuum of services
and programs for students
with disabilities in the local schools.
