Special Education

Welcome to the Paris School Special Education Website!

This site is intended to provide you with a variety of information regarding the world of Special Education. Special Education services a diverse population of students and families. Should you have any questions, please contact Roger Gahart/District Administrator and Director of Special Education or Kim Hansen/District Special Education Coordinator at 262/859-2350. Enjoy your visit!

What is Special Education?

Some children who are having problems in school may need extra help through Special Education. Special Education is for children who have an identified disability. Schools must follow certain procedures to decide if a child is eligible for Special Education. These procedures are written in state and federal laws. Once a child is determined to be eligible for Special Education an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is developed to specifically address the child’s educational needs.

Who can receive Special Education services?

A child who is at least 3 years old, but not yet 21, and who has not yet graduated from high school can receive Special Education services if it has been determined he or she is eligible.

Each state has its own set of criteria for identifying disability areas. Children in Wisconsin can be identified with the following disability areas: Cognitive Disability, Hearing Impairment, Speech or Language Impairment, Visual Impairment, Orthopedic Impairment, Emotional/Behavioral Disability, Autism, Traumatic Brain Injury, Significant Developmental Delay, Learning Disability, and Other Health Impairment (includes AD/HD)

What steps do I follow if I am concerned my child has a disability?

If you suspect your child may have a disability, contact Roger Gahart/District Administrator/Director of Special Education or Kim Hansen/District Special Education Coordinator. They will assist you with your concerns and guide you in the appropriate direction for the next course of action.
