About

Special EducationAccording to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), special education means specially designed instruction, provided at no cost to the parent, to meet the unique needs of a child with a disability. This specially designed instruction involves adapting, as appropriate to the needs of an eligible student, the content, methodology or delivery of instruction:

To address the unique needs of the child that result from his/her disability; and

To ensure access of the child to the general curriculum, so that the child can meet
the educational standards within the district that apply to all children.

In Wyoming, children who are eligible for special education are entitled to a free appropriate
public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE) from the age of three
through the school year in which the student turns 21 years old. School districts ensure the
provision of FAPE in the LRE for each eligible child through the development and implementation
of an Individualized Education Program (IEP), which is updated at least annually.
