Special Education
At Avoca Central School District we believe that every student deserves individual attention and unique opportunities for academic, social and personal growth.
We are committed to creating a school community where every learner is valued for their strengths and supported to reach their highest potential. Through meaningful partnerships with families, educators, and the community, we foster inclusive environments that inspire growth, celebrate progress, and prepare students for their futures.
Some students require the support of special education services including specially designed instruction and related services that support students with disabilities in accessing, participating in, and making meaningful progress in the general education curriculum. These services are individualized to meet each student's unique strengths and needs while helping them develop the academic, social, emotional, behavioral, communication, and functional skills necessary for success.
