College Station Independent School District 2007-2008

College Station ISD maintains a system for identifying, locating and evaluating individuals with disabilities (birth through 21 years of age) including migrant and homeless students, residing within its jurisdiction and who are in need of special education and/or related services. College Station ISD Special Education, through Child Find, will refer and collaborate services for students birth to two years of age with Early Childhood Intervention Services.

College Station ISD has a complete staff of highly trained personnel to meet the educational requirements of students with disabilities. Special Education is an intricate part of the instructional program of the total education system. Students receiving services from the special education staff are those students who have hearing or visual impairments, learning disabilities, speech impairments, orthopedic disabilities, emotional disturbances, traumatic brain injury, autism, deaf-blindness, mental retardation and multiple disabilities.

The education success of these students depends on a carefully planned program that meets his or her individual needs.

College Station ISD Special Education has programs to accommodate children with disabilities, including early childhood services for 0-5 year olds who have disabilities. The early childhood classrooms are at Southwood Valley Elementary, College Hills Elementary and South Knoll Elementary providing services beginning on a child’s third birthday.

Educational services are provided by specially trained teachers for those students with visual and auditory impairments from 0-21 years of age. The Regional Day School for the Deaf in Bryan serves our students with the most severe auditory impairments.

Each campus is equipped with instructional programs to assist the students with individualized instruction in specific academic areas in the least restrictive environment.

A homebound program is maintained for any student who cannot attend regular classes because of medical reasons.

Other than classroom instruction, related services are provided. Related services are those which assist students in making progress on their individual goals and objectives. These include, but are not limited to: physical therapy, occupational therapy, counseling, and transportation.

The educational needs for each child referred to the special education program are determined by professional assessment personnel.

If you know of a child with special needs, birth through 21 years of age, residing in College Station Independent School District, please contact CSISD Special Services at (979) 764-5433 or cdew@csisd.org.

Any parent who feels his/her child could benefit by any aspect of the special education program is invited to contact his/her building principal or call the Special Services office at 764-5433 for additional information.

It is the policy of the College Station ISD and College Station ISD Special Services Department to provide equal opportunities without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, or qualified disability, in its educational programs and activities. Inquiries concerning application of this policy may be referred to Donna Adams, 1812 Welsh, Suite 120, College Station, TX 77840.
