The Westfield Public Schools has a responsibility to provide an educational program for any student between the ages of 3-21 who may have a handicapping condition which requires special education services. When a student is experiencing academic difficulty within the regular education program, he or she may be referred for an evaluation under Chapter 766, the state's comprehensive special educational status; a need for remedial assistance. Options within both regular and special education programs will be explored.

| Philosophy is the belief of the
Special Services Department that every student is entitled to
participate in an educational program which enables him/her to develop
and achieve to the maximum of his/her potential. Students who have
a disability should be instructed in an environment which is best suited
to their individual abilities. Participation within regular
education programs is encouraged and supported through a variety of
ancillary services. High expectations and standards are maintained
for all students. It is the department/s citizen of his/her
community. Toward that end, program options, which enhance
intellectual, social and vocational skills, are provided.
