Special Education
Welcome to the Sweet Home Special Programs Department
Consultant Program
For students in regular classes who require special education assistance, Sweet Home provides consultant teacher services. These services can be provided to an individual or to groups and are delivered by a special education teacher in the regular education class. The services can be provided directly to the student or indirectly through the child’s regular education teacher. Services are offered for a minimum of 120 minutes a week.
Special Education Classes
Sweet Home offers more intensive special education support for youngsters with disabilities that interfere with their ability to benefit from regular class placement.
Resource Room Program
Sweet Home provides resource room assistance for some students needing special education assistance at the middle school and enrichment support for students at the high school. Students are assigned to the resource room on a regularly scheduled basis while continuing their other studies in regular classrooms during most of each school day.
