Special Education: Disability Definitions and Roadmap

The documents linked in the dropdowns below were created by the Beaverton School District through deep collaborations between the special education, multilingual, and communication departments, in an effort to support families in a transparent process. If you have more questions, or if anything is unclear, please reach out to your assigned school.

Special education is a special instruction designed to meet the unique needs of a student experiencing a disability. The services are provided at no cost to the families. The services can be provided in many different school settings.
