SpeCIAL EDUCATION

The BCIU's special education services include programming for pre-school, elementary, and secondary students who have Individualized Education Plans (IEPs).

BCIU services for these young people may include emotional support classes, life skills support classes, or classes for students who are blind, deaf, or hard of hearing.

Additional support options could include:

Vocational/job coaching
Assistive technology
Social work and psychological services
Itinerant services
Extended school year services

The BCIU can provide early intervention services to preschool-aged children (ages 3-4) who are identified as eligible because they have a particular handicapping condition or developmental delay. The BCIU presents workshops for special education administrators and practitioners, and provides technical assistance and consultation services to schools on a variety of compliance issues.
