Greendale Schools | Special Education
The Greendale School District offers a continuum of services for children who qualify for special education and related services, aged 3-21. All children suspected of having a disability are referred for an evaluation to determine if they have a special need in one or more of the following areas:
  • Autism
  • Cognitive Disability
  • Emotional/Behavioral Disability
  • Hearing Impaired
  • Speech/Language Disability
  • Visually Impaired
  • Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Specific Learning Disability
  • Orthopedically Impaired
  • Other Health Impaired
  • Significant Developmental Delay
If a child is determined to have a special education need, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed to identify the necessary goals, instruction, support and related services so that the child may benefit from the educational process. Parents are an integral part of the evaluation and the development of the IEP.
