Parent Notification Regarding Special Education Services

In accordance with Florida Statutes 1002.421(1)(j), it is important for parents to understand that parentally placed private school students with disabilities do not have an individual right to receive the same special education and related services that they would be entitled to if enrolled in a public school under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). While Easterseals School for Limitless Learning is committed to supporting the diverse needs of all students, including those with disabilities, these services may differ from those provided in public school settings. For more information on available services, please contact our administration.
