Special education is defined as instruction that is specially designed, at no cost to you as parents, to meet your child's unique needs. Specially designed instruction means adapting the content, methods, or delivery of instruction:
* to address the unique needs of your child that result from his or her disability, and
* to ensure your child's access to the general curriculum so that he or she can meet the educational standards that apply to all children within the jurisdiction of the public agency.
Special education can include instruction conducted in the classroom, in the home, in hospitals and institutions, and in other settings. It can include instruction in physical education as well. Speech-language pathology services or any other related service can be considered special education rather than
a related service under State standards if the instruction is specially designed, at no cost to the parents, to meet the unique needs of a child with a disability. Travel training and vocational education also can be considered special education if these standards are met. (Section 300.26)
