Frequently Asked Questions About Online School for Students with Special Needs

Curious about special education services offered at Stride K12-powered schools? Read some of the most common questions regarding online school options for special needs students.

Why do students with special needs do well at Stride K12-powered schools?

For many students, online school is an opportunity to get away from the distractions of a traditional school and classroom. The ability to take courses online and complete coursework at their own pace allows students to focus on their learning. They can also receive the special education supports they need within the privacy of their own homes. Parents of students with special needs also find the regular communication with the teachers at Stride K12-powered schools to be helpful in supporting their children academically.

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 ages 3–21 who meet certain criteria. 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.

Who qualifies for a 504 plan?

Under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, students with a documented disability that substantially limits one or more basic life activities may qualify for a 504 plan.

What are "accommodations"?

"Accommodations" refer 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 made regarding 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.

What are the types of special education programs in public schools powered by Stride K12?
