SPECIAL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

The University Place School District (UPSD) offers a full range of program options to serve all students identified with special education needs, ages three to twenty-one. The district’s philosophy is to provide an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each student in the appropriate environment. Access to all special education programs is through a formal professional team evaluation process usually initiated at the student’s home school. The evaluation team determines individual goals and recommendations for eligible special education students. Each student’s program is based on individual student needs.
