The Muskego-Norway School District provides special education services for students who are identified with a disability. Students who are suspected of having a disability are referred for an evaluation to determine if they have an impairment and need for special education in one of the following areas:

• Autism
• Specific Learning Disability
• Speech/Language Disability
• Intellectual Disability
• Orthopedically Impaired
• Visually Impaired
• Emotional/Behavioral Disability
• Other Health Impaired
• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Hearing Impaired
• Significant Developmental Delay

If a student is determined to have a disability and needs special education services to access their education through the evaluation process, an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is developed to identify goals, special education services, and related services they require to benefit from the educational process. Following the development of the IEP, an appropriate educational program and placement will be determined and offered to parents/guardians. Parents, students, and staff are integral parts of the IEP process and IEP team.
