Special Education Department

Whitehall District Schools offers a wide range of programs and support services for students with disabilities, and ensures students have access to all educational opportunities. For students with identified disabilities, an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is crafted. Programs and services are based on individual needs and may include, but are not limited to:

• Resource Programs
• Speech and Language Therapy
• School Social Work
• Occupational Therapy
• Physical Therapy
• Personal Care Services

Whitehall District Schools also collaborates with the Muskegon Intermediate School District in order to meet all individual student needs. The Individual Educational Planning (IEP) process guides these decisions and parent involvement is an integral part of programming.
