The program is a consortium of five Santa Clarita school districts, including Castaic, Newhall, Saugus, Sulphur Springs and William S. Hart Union High School Districts.
These districts work together to provide special education services for students with identified disabilities from birth to age 22, giving each student enrolled in SELPA the resources needed to be successful in school.
Students that are referred to Santa Clarita Valley SELPA are first assessed to determine their disability and its impact on school performance. Students eligible to receive special education are offered services in the least restrictive environment in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), according to officials.
Students with any of the following disabilities may be eligible for special education services: autism, hearing impaired including deafness, deaf-blindness, emotionally disturbed, speech and language impairment, intellectual disability, orthopedic impairment, multiple disabilities, specific learning disability, traumatic brain injury and visual impairment.
All assessments are followed by an Individual Education Plan team meeting, during which parents, teachers and staff determine eligibility, specific goals, placement and objectives.
Parent permission is required for all special education services through Santa Clarita Valley SELPA.
To make a referral, parents are encouraged to contact their local public school office or their district office, listed below:
