Special Education Services

Special education services are provided to students with disabilities as defined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). These services include preschool programs for special needs children ages 3-5; special class/learning centers; individual/small group instruction; and co-taught classes with a special education teacher and a general education teacher working together to meet the needs of students.

Other special education services such as occupational therapy, adapted physical education, speech/language therapy, physical therapy and interpreter services are available based on student need.

The Kettering City School District provides a work adjustment program to serve students with disabilities. This includes career orientation, vocational assessment, a work adjustment lab, work experiences and job training.

Students who require special programs that are not provided by the Kettering City Schools attend regional programs operated by the Dayton City Schools, the Montgomery County Educational Service Center or the Montgomery County Board of MR/DD.
