Special Education Services
Students qualifying for special education services have needs that often require support that goes beyond what is usually offered or received in the regular school/classroom setting. Special education is in place to ensure that all students' educational needs are met. This means that additional services, support, programs, specialized placements, or environments are supplied when necessary and at no cost to the parents. TASD offers specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities.
School Psychologists
TASD has three school psychologists that are uniquely qualified to support students' ability to learn and teachers' ability to teach. They apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior, to help children and youth succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally.
School Social Worker
TASD has one school social worker that helps our parents, students, and staff identify needs that interfere with learning. She works with students to get the services they need to resolve social, emotional and behavioral problems.
