Specialized Academic Instruction (SAI)

Students who have been identified as having a disability which impacts learning and who require special education to make progress receive Specialized Academic Instruction (SAI). Working together, parents, teachers, and other appropriate personnel develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) to target each child's identified needs.
