Special Education
The Special Education Program at UACHS provides students with disabilities individualized instruction and support designed to meet their unique learning needs and help them reach their full potential. Through a supportive and inclusive environment, students receive services that promote academic achievement, social-emotional growth, and independence.
Our Child Study Team includes a School Psychologist, two School Social Workers, and a Learning Disabilities Teacher Consultant (LDTC). Eligible students may receive a range of services, including teacher consultation, in-class support, resource center support, and replacement instruction, based on their Individualized Education Program (IEP).
Referrals for Special Education and Related Services may be made by a student, parent or legal guardian, or school staff member. To initiate a referral, please submit a written request to the UACHS School Social Workers, Ms. Rocio Paulino or Ms. Aisha Bowers.
