Students With Special Needs
An array of support is available to students in the Denver Public Schools, including nursing and mental health services. Supports and services are also available to students identified as disabled under Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Each school has one or more Special Education teachers as well as related service providers (e.g. Speech/Language Specialist). In addition, some schools also have Center Programs for students with severe or profound disabilities who are in need of more specialized or intensive services.
More complete evaluation procedures, resource listings and registration information is available at your neighborhood school or on the Student Services web http://sts.dpsk12.org.
For parents who suspect that their child might have special needs but whose child is not yet enrolled in school or attends a private school (birth - 21 years old) contact Denver Public Schools Child Find at 720-423-8001.
