Special Education

The Special Education Department at East Haven High School provides a full continuum of service delivery to students who have been identified as needing specialized instruction or intervention under state and federal guidelines. Only students with Individualized Education Plans are eligible to receive such services.

East Haven High offers a variety of inclusion classes in the core academic areas as well as selected elective classes. Students are supported in the general education environment through several delivery models, including co-teaching, paraprofessional support, collaboration/consultation between special education and general education staff members, as well as ancillary staff, including school psychologists, social workers, guidance counselors, and speech and language therapists. 

Direct Service classes, taught by certified Special Education teachers, are offered to select students in Language Arts and Math, according to Planning and Placement Team recommendations. 

East Haven High School works in partnership with Area Cooperative Services (ACES) to provide academic and vocational services to identified students transitioning to adult services programs and supported work and/or living environments. 

Qualified students graduating from East Haven High School may be eligible for extension services through various community agencies to support their transition from school to work or other post-secondary settings.
