Special Services
WAY Academy offers a full continuum of special education programs including special education teachers, speech-language pathologists, social workers, psychologists, occupational and physical therapists, and paraprofessionals.
We value partnering with parents and students to develop and Individualized Education Program (IEP) for students who are eligible for special education.
Pre-Referral Process
The pre-referral process was developed to ensure students are provided reasonable accommodations and modifications before they are referred for special education assessment.
Child Find
Child Find, an evaluation program available through WAY Academy, identifies students who may be in need of special education services. Child Find offers evaluations to children suspected of having a disability, at no charge.
