What Kinds of Service Delivery Models are Available to Elementary School Age Children?
A school district should offer a continuum of placements, from regular classrooms, through resource and self-contained special education classrooms, to special schools. At the high school level, the placements might include vocational training or work-study settings in the community. With any setting, placement decisions are discussed at the annual staffing, and more often if needed. Placement at one level during a particular academic year does not mean that the child will always be in that placement type. Parents should visit settings that are offered as options, in order to be ready to advocate for the setting they believe is most appropriate for their child. What is available and appropriate in the continuum of services? How does an inclusion model work? Gail Harris-Schmidt, Ph.D., CCC-SLP |

Special education services for children in elementary, junior high, and
high school may be delivered in a variety of locales by a team of teachers and therapists. Each child's IEP should state that the placement is the least restrictive environment for that particular student.
