The School District of Indian River County Exceptional Student Education Department is committed to providing high-quality, specially-designed educational opportunities for all students with disabilities and students identified as gifted. We believe that all students with disabilities should be taught in their least restrictive environment; that is, the environment which most closely resembles the educational environment of their peers without disabilities while appropriately supporting their access, involvement, and progress within their individualized education program. Additionally, this inclusive setting should provide a continuum of educational services at a level which best benefits the student without infringing on the safety or learning of others.
