Special Services

Welcome to Special Services at Middletown Schools, where inclusivity and support for every scholar are at the heart of what we do. Our department is dedicated to providing a broad range of specialized services and programs for scholars with disabilities, focusing on personalized and collaborative approaches. We work together with educators, families, and specialists to develop Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that foster scholar growth and independence.

Our team of education professionals is committed to delivering targeted instruction and services, including speech and occupational therapies, physical therapy, and counseling, addressing the holistic needs of our scholars. We prioritize early intervention and consistent support from pre-K through high school, ensuring an inclusive learning environment. Our goal is to empower parents and guardians with the tools they need to support their scholar's educational journey, reinforcing our community of care and belonging.
