Educating All Students for Success in Life
Special Education teachers deliver specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of a child with a disability.
Early Childhood special education teachers provide and oversee services for children ages 3 to
5 who experience developmental delays or other
disabilities.
Elementary school special education staff serve
kindergarten through sixth grade students with
disabilities as stipulated in their Individual
Education Plans (IEP). Teachers seek to improve
students’ ability to function in academics, communication, social skills and behavior.
Middle school special educators provide instruction and support services for students in (some
sixth), seventh and eighth grade with an IEP.
Each IEP is designed to build skills in identified areas of need and achieve individualized
goals and objectives.
The Behavioral Support Service programs at
Whaley School and Mt. Iliamna are designed
to meet the needs of students whose behaviors
mandate a more restrictive environment than a
neighborhood school can provide. Behavior supports are also provided in neighborhood schools.
Adapted physical education
specialists promote physical fitness, motor skills and lifetime
sports through the use of modified teaching techniques, adapted
curriculum or equipment.
Alaska State School for Deaf and Hard of
Hearing (ASSDHH) serves deaf and hard of
hearing students from throughout the state in
three neighborhood schools from preschool
through high school.
Assistive technology teachers support teams with
specific students in
the areas of augmentative/alternative
communication, written expression
and computer access.
Audiologists and Hard of Hearing
(HOH) teachers assess and treat
students who are hearing impaired.
They provide academic and selfadvocacy support to ensure that students have access to the curriculum.
High school special education provides a range
of instructional, career and technical, and
community-based opportunities for students.
Each IEP is designed to help the student
achieve educational and personal goals, and
successfully transition to post-secondary life.
Teachers of the Visually Impaired (TVI)
instruct students who are totally blind, legally
blind, partial sighted and deaf-blind. They provide instruction in Braille, enlarged print and
orientation mobility.
Occupational therapists support special education students to promote hand-function, oralmotor function, and sensory motor skills for
successful participation in school activities.
Physical therapists support special education
students who need assistance with mobility,
positioning, and/or accessibility in order to be
successful in the school environment.
School psychologists collaborate with ASD staff
and parents to meet the academic, social, and
emotional needs of students through assessment,
intervention, consultation, counseling and crisis
response.
