Students with Disabilities

Blind and Visually Impaired Support students have a medically diagnosed degree of limited visual acuity that interferes with normal mobility, access, or performance. Students in MTSD who have a need for this type of Support typically receive Blind/Visually Impaired related services as a component of their IEP. Assistive Technology and Braille services are provided for students as determined by their IEP teams.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Support students have a medically diagnosed degree of limited auditory acuity that interferes with normal mobility, access, or performance. Students in MTSD who have a need for this type of Support typically receive Deaf and Hard of Hearing related services as a component of their IEP. Educational Interpreters who meet state qualifications are provided as determined by the IEP team to work individually with students during instruction and/or 

social activities. 

Multiple Disabilities Support and Physical Support are available for students with handicapping conditions who demonstrate a need for specially designed instruction in order to progress academically. Students are typically assigned to special education programs according to cognitive ability and degree of need. Special education teachers, as well as physical and occupational therapists, provide services and monitor needs to ensure that appropriate accommodations are made.
