At Edgewood ISD, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in a supportive and inclusive environment. Our Special Education Services team is dedicated to meeting the unique needs of students with disabilities by providing high-quality instruction, individualized support, and a collaborative approach that empowers students to reach their full potential.

We work closely with families, educators, and the community to ensure that every child receives the resources and accommodations they need to succeed. Whether you are seeking information on services, supports, or programs, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Each campus has a full time or part time Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) Facilitator who serves as a campus contact and facilitates ARD meetings. Campus Case Managers (Special Education Teachers) have first hand knowledge, training, and experience working with students with disabilities. EISD offers instructional and related services based on the decisions made by the student's parents/guardians and other ARD committee members. Services and support include, but are not limited to:

  • Classroom accommodations and modifications

  • Speech and Language Therapy

  • Behavior Management Classroom (BMC)

  • Learning in Functional Environment (LIFE skills)

  • Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities (PPCD)

  • Autism Itinerant Services
