Special Education
Carlisle Schools is committed to the success of each child. The Special Education Department is dedicated to ensuring that each child leaves school each day feeling successful. We do this by providing individualized supports, a continuum of service delivery options, facilitating academic and social development, and maintaining dignity and respect for each student.
The district employs caring and qualified intervention specialists, school psychologists, therapists, and educational aides to support the needs of and promote progress for students with disabilities. We value a partnership between home and school and believe that a collaborative effort between parents, regular educators, and special education staff will enhance the independence and success of each student.
