Flexibility and adaptation should be essential components of a rational service delivery for special needs students.
Students grow from dependence to independence through the timely allocation of support.
Special Education funding should provide the programs and services required to support pupils, in a range of placements. In-Service for special education teachers and support staff is necessary. A range of on-site, family and centrally accessible expertise is necessary to meet the needs of students with exceptionalities. Parents and the public must be provided with a clear, concise statement of the range of services that the Board is able to provide. The public should be aware of the limitations on the Board, the support services available and the costs associated with the provision of student services in the system.
