The Virginia Family's Guide to Special Education
This new state guide was developed by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) to help those involved in special education, whether as families, teachers or school administrators, advocates, or students. Meeting the needs of children with disabilities requires an understanding of rights and responsibilities which include the child’s rights, and the school’s responsibilities to meet their needs.
This guide includes a description of the special education process and what is required during each step of that process. Important timelines are highlighted throughout.
The Virginia Family's Guide to Special Education
Spanish: Guía de Educación Especial para las Familias de Virginia
Video Guide to the Special Education Evaluation Process for Families
In response to legislation passed by the Virginia General Assembly as well as feedback and collaboration with the field, the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has released a
Video
Guide
to the Special Education Evaluation Process for Families
as additional guidance to support accurate and consistent eligibility determinations and access to special education services across school divisions. These
video
modules will provide parents, families, and other stakeholders with a brief but comprehensive overview of the special education process.
Each module is designed to be viewed as a stand-alone resource or viewed in succession.
