Special Education Services

Learning Impaired (LI) students under an IEP have support from the LI teacher, who works with the student and the individual classroom teacher within the student’s classroom. DoDEA schools follows the inclusion model, meaning students are seen in their classrooms as much as possible and not pulled out for these services. Communication Impaired students follow the provisions as stated on their IEPs. For more information on special education, visit their website.
