We support students with special needs through a variety of programs, including our Special Education Services. 

Special Education: As a public school, Visions In Education provides special education and related services through Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to students who qualify. The service delivery model at Visions varies from that typically provided at a traditional school campus with a focus on individualized supports uniquely designed to enable eligible students to make progress within our home school and independent study programming.

In our home school model, parent partners and students alike are provided with support from both general education and special education teachers. While parent partners provide daily instruction through a homeschooling model, the student’s credentialed teacher and special education team will always work with families to make progress toward student goals.

In the Independent Study and University Prep Early College academies, students attend general education classes with the support of special education teachers and service providers. Each student’s IEP team will carefully craft an IEP that supports them in this unique setting with careful consideration of accommodations necessary to access instruction. Our special education case managers work closely with their general education counterparts to provide the appropriate support and guidance individualized for the student. 

We look forward to working together as a team to create an IEP that is reasonably calculated to provide educational benefit to our students. For more information please contact our Enrollment Team.
