Exceptional Student Education

Exceptional Student Education (PK-12th)

P.K. Yonge’s Exceptional Student Education’s (ESE) goal is to help our students position themselves to be creative, dedicated, and resilient learners who embrace the power of diverse ideas, talents, and cultures to improve the world. Students from kindergarten through 12th grade qualify for special services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) here at P.K. Yonge.

When students become eligible for ESE services under at least one of the exceptionalities, our PreK-12 Learning Community Leaders collaborate with the students and their families to ensure that a continuum of services is provided, along with accommodations and goals that are developed and progress-monitored. Additional support services, such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, language therapy, and mental health counseling, are also provided to students with exceptionalities.
