What are the Special Education programs offered in your district? What are they called? (i.e. Excel, ERR)

Special Education Program names differ from district to district. Some from around the state include: Excel, Extended Resource Room (ERR), Diverse Learning (DL), Resource Room, RISE (Reaching Independence through Support and Education), SLC (Structured Learning Center), Integrated Classrooms, ILC (Independent Learning Classrooms), PACE (Partners for a Collaborative Education), and BASICS (Behavior, Academics and Social Intervention care Systems).

It’s important to keep in mind that regardless of placement, IEP’s provide individualized instruction for your student.
