Special Education
Our highly skilled staff is committed to meeting the diverse needs of children with disabilities, regardless of the type or severity. At Bloomfield Hills Schools, our Special Education programs adhere to both state and federal regulations supporting children with a range of social, emotional, and learning challenges. We strive to integrate these children into mainstream classrooms to the extent appropriate for their individual requirements.
Across our school buildings, we offer various special education programs that address specific areas of difficulty, provide academic skills training, and offer support for learning challenges.

What is an IEP?

Parent Advisory Committee (PAC)
A Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is an opportunity for parents/guardians and district representatives to discuss special education policies, programs, and matters relating to the success of all students in our district. The purpose of the PAC is to encourage informed parent contributions to discussions leading to decisions being made about special education programming.
