What is the process for dismissing a child from Special Education services?
Dismissal from Special Education One of the primary goals of special education is to assist students with acquiring the skills necessary to be involved in and progress in the general curriculum and school environment. When a student has demonstrated the ability to be successful in the general education environment with little or no special education support, the Individualized Education Program (IEP) team may recommend that the student be dismissed from special education. However, prior to a student being dismissed from special education, the IEP team must conduct a re-evaluation. The IEP team must convene and review all available information prior to making the recommendation to dismiss from special education. The process for dismissing a student from special education follows the same basic procedures described for conducting a triennial (3-year) review.
