Serving Children With Special Needs

The goal of the Special Education Department of Alice ISD is to provide students with disabilities valuable educational experiences that prepare them for the future. Each student with a disability has the opportunity to participate in appropriate educational settings designed to meet his/her individual needs.

Services are provided in the least restrictive environment that allows access to the general education curriculum and instruction with non-disabled peers to the extent that is appropriate for the student.

The mission of the special education department is to: • facilitate positive educational experiences for students • provide students access to a wide array of educational options and programs in order for them to gain the knowledge and skills necessary for successful life transitions • educate students in the least restrictive environment to the maximum extent possible
