Special Education

Many struggling readers can receive additional support from their school. Students with reading or reading-related disabilities may be eligible to receive supplemental instruction from special education teachers who can provide in-class or out-of-class support, depending on the student's needs. Navigating the unfamiliar waters of special education, though, can be overwhelming for parents, teachers, and students. This section contains helpful information about the basics of special education: the process, the IEP, and inclusion.
