Special Education

Castro Valley Unified School District is committed to meeting the educational needs of the exceptional child. All disabled children between the ages of 3 and 21 are provided appropriate educational opportunities. In addition, the district provides services to children under the age of three whose sole disability is deafness, blindness, or certain orthopedic conditions.

An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed at least annually for each of over 1000 students to ensure that each child receives a free and appropriate education designed to assist him/her in reaching their unique potential in the least restrictive educational environment.
