Special Education
Welcome to the Nokomis North Special Education Webpage. All schools have some special education and related services; however, not all specialized services are available at every school. Nokomis North Montessori School offers resources for Learning Disabilities (LD) and has two Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Classrooms. You can meet our two LD teachers by selecting their names on the right side of the page.
The following is a list of specialized services that are available in every elementary, middle and senior high school in SPPS:
- Specific Learning Disabilities
- Deaf/Hard of Hearing (DHH)
- Visually Impaired (VI)
- Classroom support for students with less severe Emotional or Behavioral Disorders (EBD)
- Speech and languages services
- Consultation for Other Health Disabilities/Traumatic Brain Injury/Physical Impairment (special and general education teachers work with district-wide staff to provide appropriate services for individual students)
Our Special Education Team is made up of:
- Two ASD Classroom Teachers
- Two Learning Disabilities Teachers
- One Early Childhood Special Education Teacher
- Two speech and Language Teachers
- School Social Worker
- School Psychologist
- Four amazing Teaching Assistants
