Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about special education services offered by K12-powered schools? Read some of the most common questions and answers.

Who qualifies for special education?

Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the law requires public schools to provide special education services to students age 3–21 who meet certain criteria. In order for a student to qualify for special education services they must have a documented disability that is covered under IDEA and need special education to access the general education curriculum.

What are "accommodations"?

"Accommodations" refers to tools or strategies used to ensure that students have access to general curriculum. This could include reading tests aloud to students or using text-to-speech software for students who have reading or visual disabilities.

What are "modifications"?

"Modifications" are adjustments that are made to how much a student is expected to do or learn. Modifications could include shortened assignments, less rigorous goals, or modified test or project formats or requirements.

What do "related services" include?

"Related services" refer to supports that are not strictly educational, such as occupational therapy, counseling, and social work.

My child struggles in some subjects and often needs more time or support. Would they have extra time and help, if needed?

Time outside of scheduled online classes is flexible. Students may spend more time on particular subjects as needed. Students are expected to work in their courses daily and meet certain assignment and progress goals. Many schools offer small group instruction for students who are struggling. Other services and accommodations may be available depending on student needs and programs offered in your state.
