What Is Special Education?

​Special education is specially designed instruction that addresses the unique needs of a student eligible to receive special education services. Special education is provided at no cost to parents and includes the related services a student needs to access her/his educational program.

Early Stages (ages 0-2): Early intervention services are available to children who have disabilities and/or developmental delays. The Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) program provides services to eligible children and families in a variety of settings - in their homes, in child care, in preschool or school programs, and in their communities.

School Age (ages 3-21): Students with disabilities who are determined eligible for special education and related services are entitled to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). Services are provided to eligible students according to an Individualized Education Program (IEP) in preschools, elementary, and secondary schools, or other appropriate settings.

The Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) provides more information and resources regarding the Special Education program. Please visit their website

Child Find Notice

The process of locating and evaluating children with developmental delays or other disabilities is referred to as “Child Find.” The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires all school districts to locate, evaluate, and provide services to individuals birth to age 21 years old who may have a disability.

If you suspect your child or if you know of a child that may have a developmental delay or disability, please contact the Brewster School District Special Education Department at 509-689-2581.

The Brewster School District offers free developmental screenings. These screenings are designed to provide a brief assessment of the communication, adaptive, cognitive, social-emotional, and motor development of the child. Developmental screening appointments are available. Please contact the Brewster School District Special Education Department at 509-689-2581 to schedule an appointment.
