Special Education

Welcome to the WFISD Special Education Department! We are dedicated to providing exceptional educational opportunities and support for students with diverse learning needs within our district.

In WFISD, we believe that every child deserves an inclusive and nurturing learning environment that fosters their unique abilities. Our Special Education Department is committed to ensuring that students with special needs receive the individualized attention, resources, and services they require to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our team of highly qualified special education professionals, including teachers, therapists, and support staff, work collaboratively to develop and implement individualized education plans (IEPs) for each student. These plans are tailored to address their specific strengths, challenges, and learning goals. We strive to empower our students by fostering independence, self-advocacy skills, and a lifelong love for learning.

In addition to providing specialized instruction, our department also focuses on fostering a sense of belonging and inclusivity. We actively promote collaboration between students, families, educators, and community members to create a supportive network that enhances the overall well-being of our students. We understand that the success of our students relies on strong partnerships and open communication.
