Private Specialized Education Programs
There are 6.6
million students with disabilities being served through the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in the United
States. Of these students, 3.4% are being served in private
specialized day and/or residential programs. IDEA requires that
a continuum of alternative placements and services exist in
order to address the individual needs of students with
disabilities. NAPSEC member programs
provide educational therapeutic services to both publically and
privately placed individuals that are not able to be
successfully educated in the regular education environment.
These services also include infants and toddlers that are served
by our early intervention service members and our postsecondary
college experience and adult living programs that serve
individuals who have graduated or who are over 21 and are no
longer eligible for services under IDEA.
