Supporting Every Learner: Special Education Services in the Sioux Falls School District
The Sioux Falls School District is committed to helping every child thrive. We offer special education and related services at all school sites, ensuring a full continuum of services for school-aged students with disabilities. From assistance in the general education classroom to more specialized settings, we tailor services to meet each student’s unique needs.
We know that every child brings their own strengths and challenges, and we are here to support them, together with parents and families. Parents and families are essential partners in developing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that help students succeed in school and beyond.
Specialized Programs for Elementary Students
While many students succeed with support at their neighborhood school, some may benefit from more intensive programming. For those students, we offer specialized, self-contained classrooms at select elementary schools.
Students with significant disabilities who require a more structured and supportive setting to make educational progress or those who benefit from daily living skills instruction integrated with academics may be recommended by their IEP team to attend one of these schools:
For students whose emotional or behavioral needs significantly impact their learning, highly structured, individualized programs are available at:
All placement decisions in specialized programs are made as part of the IEP process, with parents playing a central role in those conversations.
Questions? Let’s Talk.
We’re here to help and would love to hear from you. If you have questions about your child’s special education services, please connect with your child’s school or reach out to the Special Services Department at the District Office.
We look forward to working alongside you to support your child’s success!
