• Special Education for Districts and Charters

  • Welcome to the State of Delaware education resource page for school administrators working with students with disabilities. This site is maintained by Delaware's Exceptional Children Resources workgroup and provides superintendents, principals, curriculum directors, counselors and other personnel with education-related information and compliance resources for meeting the needs of Delaware's students with disabilities.

    Delaware operates with the knowledge that children with disabilities are successful in the classroom and beyond when high expectations exist alongside appropriate supports. Delaware's Exceptional Children Resources workgroup helps districts and charters provide effective and meaningful supports for students with disabilities, and ensures they continually meet all federal and state requirements.
