Public schools are legally obligated to provide a range of classroom and school placements for children with special needs. There are children do well in general education or inclusion classrooms, and others require more intensive supports such as private special education day or residential schools. Parents whose children are struggling may not know what options are available. This webinar describes the continuum of possible placements so that parents can better advocate for their children.
