Special Education & Support Services

Special education programs and support services are available to students who qualify in the areas of learning disabilities, speech and language, adaptive physical education, occupational therapy, and emotional/behavioral disorders.

To gain access to special education programs and support services, a Child Study Team must first evaluate children.  Teachers or parents can initiate an evaluation.  Prior to requesting permission for assessment, appropriate interventions within the mainstream classroom must take place.

In addition to special education services, Capitol Hill employs a School Social Worker to assist students.  In general, parent / guardians are notified if their child is to receive services.  There are times when this is not done due to data privacy and child protection issues.
