Questions to ask

All schools are supposed to offer special education services, but the reality is some schools are much more accommodating than others. If your child has special needs, you want to make sure he goes to a school that will help him succeed. Questions to ask:

  • Does your school have team teaching (classes with two teachers)?
  • What kind of individual help can the teachers give my child?
  • How many special education teachers does the school have?
  • Do most of the school's special education students graduate with a Regents diploma, a regular diploma or an IEP diploma? (An IEP diploma is not a real diploma. It is essentially a certificate of attendance.)
