Special Education

 

Coalinga-Huron Unified School District offers a continuum of special education services for students 3 through 21 years of age.

 

Special education services can include specialized instruction in the general education classroom, in a special education classroom, or in other settings. Classes and programs serving students with special needs are located in preschool, elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the district; however, not all programs are available at all sites. In instances where student needs require a site other than the home school, students are provided with transportation.

 

Students may be eligible for special education if they have a disability and if their needs cannot be met through general education programs. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act lists the following disability categories:

 

Autism Deaf and Blindness Hearing Impairment, Including Deafness Emotional Disturbance Intellectual Disability Multiple Disabilities

Orthopedic Impairment Other Health Impaired Specific Learning Disability Speech or Language Impairment Traumatic Brain Injury Visual Impairment
