Jefferson Special Education
Welcome to Special Education:
The Temple ISD Special Education department works to ensure that the individual needs of each child are addressed so that all of our students can become healthy, productive members of the community. Students benefit when there is strong collaboration between home and school, so we encourage families to stay in contact with your child’s teachers. For additional information, resources and helpful links, including district contact information, please check out our district page using the link in the box to the right.
Welcome to our Autism Program:
The Autism program is specifically structured to support students with Autism who demonstrate the need for moderate to significant support to access the educational setting. This program provides academic instruction through a highly structured environment. Students have access to an alternative/modified curriculum, as determined by the IEP committee. Students who access this program demonstrate significant deficits in functional communication, adaptive behavior, and social skills. Teachers and Paraprofessionals utilize visuals and ABA strategies to support student academic success and behavioral skill acquisition.
