Special Education

The Special Education Programs and Services at Ingham ISD offer a wide range of instructional programs and support services to students with disabilities. We collaborate closely with local school districts, public school academies, and non-public schools to provide comprehensive supports and programs. Our services encompass everything from in-district classroom support to the operation of specialized schools and programs to ensure every student receives the best possible education.

Ingham ISD serves over 6,500 students with needs that qualify them for special education. Special education provides these students with specially designed instruction that addresses the unique needs of individuals with disabilities. Special education is provided at no cost to parents and includes the related services a student needs to access educational programs in Ingham County. Early intervention services are provided to children from birth to age 2, and school age children are eligible to receive services from ages 3- 26.
