§ 56206 Special Education Equipment Distribution

Key Takeaways

  • •Special education tools and help should be shared in a way that keeps kids close to home.
  • •Kids with special needs should be in regular classrooms as much as possible, not separated.
  • •The goal is to avoid sending kids to far-away or separate places for help.

Example

A child who uses a wheelchair needs a special desk at school.

The school should provide the desk at their regular school so they can learn with their friends, instead of making them go to a different school far away.
