Department of Exceptional Learners

The Department of Exceptional Learners at Jackson-Reed High School works to integrate all students that receive special education services into the Jackson-Reed Community. We offer specialized instruction in inclusion, as well as self-contained settings. Based on each students Individualized Education Plan, special education services are provided by specialized education teachers, related service providers, educational aides, and dedicated aides.

Our current population includes scholars with specific learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, non-categorical disabilities, multiple disabilities, autism, and hearing impairments. We are also staffed to provide related services in the areas of physical therapy, occupational therapy, social-emotional services, speech and language services, and audiology.

The Department of Exceptional Learners at Jackson-Reed High School strives to provide a free and appropriate public education for all students with disabilities. It is our job to ensure that all students receive a rigorous and quality filled education based on DCPS standards and curriculum.
