In the Chandler Unified School District, our mission is to provide all students with the knowledge and skills to be lifelong learners and responsible citizens. We believe every student can learn, though some may need different supports to thrive.

Our Approach to Special Education:

• It is a service, not a place: The Individualized Education Program (IEP) Team—which includes you and your child—works together to determine the right level of support based on your child's unique strengths and needs.

• Inclusive environments: We provide a continuum of services, always starting with the expectation that students will learn in the general education setting whenever possible.

• Tailored supports: Depending on data and team decisions, students may receive accommodations, modifications, assistive technology, or related services (like physical, occupational, or speech therapy, and counseling).

Our vision for a safe, engaging learning environment applies to everyone, from our youngest preschoolers to our young adult learners. We value your input and our partnership with you. Please feel free to contact our department with any questions, concerns, or celebrations!

Thank you for choosing Chandler Unified!
