Yes. All Great Oaks programs are open to students with special needs. Students who are on an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or have a 504 plan may participate in Career Assessment during ninth or tenth grade to give them, their parents and home school personnel career planning information. The IEP and/or 504 team can utilize this information to choose an appropriate career and technical program that meets the student’s interests and abilities. Students with a disability have the support of a Special Needs Coordinator to monitor the IEP, arrange for adaptations and modifications in class, and give additional assistance. Teachers have experience working with students who have special needs and can make modifications as necessary. For more information about services for special needs students, CLICK HERE.
