Students with disabilities are served in the least restrictive environment, based upon individual needs. In an effort to meet the needs of students identified as having disabilities, Richland School District One has a full continuum of special education programs. Federal and state guidelines require that each student with disabilities participate with non-disabled students to the maximum extent appropriate to meet the needs of each student. "Continuum of services" refers to a range of placement options.

Programs for students with disabilities ages 3-21:

  • Pre-school Program for Developmentally Delayed (age 3-5)
  • Autism
  • Emotional Disability (ED)
  • Hearing Impairment (Hl)
