The special education program in WBSD supports individuals facing a range of social, emotional, communication, and learning challenges. Our goal is to integrate students into the general education classroom setting to the greatest extent possible, taking into account their unique needs.
Each school building offers a variety of specialized programs that address specific areas of difficulty, provide academic skill development, and assist with learning challenges.
Irrespective of the type or severity of a child's disability, our highly skilled staff is committed to meeting a wide range of needs. The West Bloomfield Special Education programs adhere to both state and federal regulations, ensuring compliance with all guidelines.
