Special Education

An Individualized Approach to Virtual Learning

Reach Cyber Charter School provides a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), without cost to the student or family, for students found to be eligible and in need of special education services. These student-specific related aids, services or accommodations provide equal opportunity for students to participate in and obtain the benefits of the school program. Students are educated in the Least Restrictive Environment to meet their unique needs.

We believe parents are essential members along with the school staff in determining eligibility for, and the provision of, special education services. A student eligible to receive special education services is a student who has been evaluated by the multidisciplinary team (MDT) and has been determined to have one or more of the following disabilities, and who, by reason thereof, needs special education and related services:

Autism
Deafness-blindness
Emotional disturbance
Hearing impairment including deafness
Intellectual disability
Multiple disabilities
Orthopedic impairment
Other health impairment
Specific learning disability
Speech language impairment
Traumatic brain injury
Visual impairment including blindness

Secondary Transition Planning

Transition planning is a process mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 2004) for all students who have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) in K-12 education. The purpose is to facilitate the student's move from school to post-school activities. The Pennsylvania Department of Education mandates that this planning begin for students at the age of 14.
