SPECIAL EDUCATION AND NEURODIVERSITY
Wagner Ranch believes that our diversity and differences make our community stronger. Our students learn in a diverse amount of ways and we are proud to serve all students as all students belong here.
If a child qualifies for Special Education under the Federal and State Guidelines, the child may be eligible for one or more services such as our Resource Program, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy or Special Day Class. The Special Day Class, located at Wagner Ranch Elementary, is designed to meet the needs of students with significant learning challenges from across the district.
