Special Education

Welcome to the Providence Creek Academy Special Education Department

This department works in collaboration with staff, families, students, and community to ensure that students have supports that they need in order to succeed. Special Education is a diverse department that supports students with identified special needs through an IEP. In addition to our IEP supports the school also provides accommodations under the 504 plan. If there are any questions in any of these areas please call directly at 302-653-6276 Ext. 1004.

Our Services

PCA provides a full range of services for students with disabilities. Students with special needs can participate in a variety of special education settings designed to support their individual needs. These settings include:

Full inclusion
Setting B, where students receive part of their instruction in a specialized setting
Setting C, where students receive the majority of their school-day support in a specialized setting

In addition to classroom services, PCA offers animal therapy and art therapy for students.

For more information, please contact the Special Education Supervisor.

Our Special
Education Team

Our Special Education Team works closely with general education teachers to help identified students fully participate in grade-level curriculum with accommodations and modifications as needed. Through this model, teachers are able to specialize by grade level and content area, leading to improved instructional outcomes and the development of meaningful relationships with families.

In addition to academic support, PCA offers related services including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language services.

Speech & Language

Our Speech and Language Pathologist works with students who have been identified with communication delays or disorders that may affect their academic success. Services are provided on campus either individually or in group sessions, depending on the student’s needs. A student may be referred for an evaluation through their classroom teacher or at the request of a parent.

If an evaluation determines that a student is eligible and that the speech or language delay or disability adversely affects the student’s education, an IEP will be developed to address the student’s needs.

Occupational & Physical Therapy

Our Occupational and Physical Therapists work with students who have identified needs that may affect their academic success. These services are provided in group sessions based on student needs. If a deficit is identified but does not impact the student’s educational experience, those services should be provided outside of the school setting.
