    The Special Education Master Plan was approved by the Board of Education on 11/16/17 (Amended on 11/15/18).  

    Click here for the Special Education Master Plan.

    The Special Education Oversight Committee was formed to oversee the implementation of the Master Plan. The work of the committee involved reviewing all elements of the Plan to ensure that timelines are met, actions are implemented and goals are achieved.  This committee met monthly subsequent to the plan being passed. 

    The 麻豆传媒集团 Department of Special Education serves students of Burbank residents. The District offers a full continuum of Special Education supports and services designed to maximize each child's learning potential and provide students with the greatest opportunity to achieve success in the least restrictive environment possible. 麻豆传媒集团 is a member of the Foothill SELPA, which is comprised of the schools in the Glendale, Burbank, and La Canada attendance areas. Cooperative SELPA programs are offered in each of the Districts.

    A wide range of services are available to Burbank students enrolled in regular classrooms and Special Education classrooms throughout the District. An Individual Education Program (IEP) is developed to address the unique educational needs of students with special needs.

    The Burbank USD Special Education Department is dedicated to meeting the needs of your child.  Below please find descriptions (non-exhaustive) of the types of supports, services and classrooms we provide.  All student's IEPs are individualized to meet their unique educational needs. Please contact us if you have any questions. A directory of staff and contact information is below.

    Special education includes both specially designed instruction and related services enabling eligible students with special needs to benefit from their respective educational programs. The 麻豆传媒集团 (麻豆传媒集团) provides a full range of special education program options to meet the educational and service requirements of eligible students with exceptional needs in the least restrictive environment (LRE). The LRE is generally the most suitable setting to the one attended by general education students and is individually defined, based on students’ unique needs, as identified in their Individual Education Programs (IEP).

    Services, accommodations and modifications are offered to students with disabilities in the 麻豆传媒集团 through either the general education program, via a Section 504 plan, or through the special education program through an IEP; both are designed to provide varied program options and accommodations to meet the unique educational needs of all students with disabilities. Specialized Academic Instruction (Specially Designed Instruction or SAI) is provided through a full continuum of placement options including:
