Frequently Asked Questions About Special Needs Schools in West Haven

Is Weber's preschool the same as special education preschool?

No. Weber's School Readiness preschool is eligibility based, for children who are 4 by September 1, with priority tied to factors such as income, residency, and risk. Special education preschool is a separate route based on a disability evaluation. If you are concerned about your child's development, contact the Special Education Preschool at 801-452-4936.

What does a special school placement mean in Weber School District?

A special school is one option on the district's continuum, which runs from regular class through resource, special class, special school, and home or hospital instruction. Weber states a commitment to a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment, so placement is an IEP team decision. You are part of that team. See our IEP guide.

Who provides therapy services for Weber students?

Weber's motor team includes district physical therapists, occupational therapists, and adapted physical educators, housed at Canyon View School. They serve students with disabilities throughout the district whose physical limitations keep them from accessing their special education program or curriculum. The district also has assistive technology specialists for students who are non-speaking or have limited speech.

How long does a Utah evaluation take?

Utah's Special Education Rules require the initial evaluation within 45 school days of receiving parent consent, with limited exceptions. Make your request in writing and keep a copy. After the evaluation, the team decides eligibility and, if your child qualifies, writes an IEP. Our request guide helps you start.
