Special Education services are provided to students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Innovation Academy strives to serve students in the most inclusive setting and students are primarily supported through classroom inclusion support provided by the school’s Student Services Teachers and inclusion aides. Students also participate in small group classes as appropriate, and receive speech and language services, occupational therapy, reading, and counseling as indicated by IEPs.
