• Overview of Special Education Services

    The Delaware Valley School District offers a full continuum of services for students with disabilities designed to meet the needs of all students. Students attend classes in each of the seven buildings in the district as determined by student needs.

    Instruction

    Teachers utilize modifications and adaptations to ensure effective instruction for all students that addresses the wide range of student learning styles and individual needs.
