Student Achievement Services (Special Education)
To meet the unique needs of a student identified with a disability, a variety of intervention services are offered at Falcon Creek Middle School. Student needs are addressed through the implementation of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that is developed and monitored through a process which includes input from the student, parents, teachers, counselors, and mental health professionals. Intervention services are provided through a three-tiered model that provides different levels of instruction (universal, targeted, intensive) with ongoing data analysis and progress monitoring.
Specific services may also include:
- Mental Health Support – including support and intervention from a school psychologist and/or a social worker.
- Speech-Language – including support and intervention by a Speech-Language Pathologist in the areas of language development, articulation, voice and fluency. Services can take place in the general education classroom, a small group setting, or through consultative programming.
- Occupational/Physical Therapist Support – OT/PT support is provided to students as needed and provided for in the IEP.
- Integrated Learning Center (ILC) – providing services to students with significant developmental and/or cognitive delays.
- Social Emotional Learning – providing services to students with emotional disabilities through check in / check out, consultative services, social-emotional skills training classes, and support within the general education classroom.

- Utilize systems to continuously monitor each student's academic progress.
