The Maria Montessori Academy’s Special Education Department is attempting to identify all children with disabilities who are currently enrolled at the school.
If a child is having significant difficulty with vision, hearing, speech and/or behavior or is experiencing slow development atypical for his/her age, physical impairments or learning difficulty then he/she may be a child with a disability. Disabilities that could interfere with education include: autism, deaf-blindness, deafness, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment, intellectual disabilities, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, specific learning disabilities, communication disorders, traumatic brain injury and visual impairment. Federal law mandates the provision of free educational programs and/or services for such persons.
If you know of a current Maria Montessori Academy student who might qualify for Special Education services, including a student suspected of having a disability even though he/she is advancing from grade to grade, please contact Maria Montessori Academy’s Special Education Department.

The goal of the USPA is to set standards of both practice and expectations around student privacy such that all parties involved have a common understanding of expectations.
