Welcome to the Special Education addition of our website! The Special Education Department is thrilled to begin a new school year of student-centered instruction and intellectual growth. Our general education staff utilizes an evidence-based curriculum that reflects Ohio's Learning Standards. At the same time, our intervention specialists provide small group instruction in and out of the classroom to address all unique learning and social-emotional needs. We promote inclusive practices in our district buildings that ensure all students, regardless of ability, collaborate and learn alongside each other.

 We also partner with the Trumbull County Educational Service Center (TCESC) to provide related services, including speech and language therapy, occupational and physical therapy, vision consultation, and mobility services. Maplewood is partnered with Trumbull County Board of Developmental Disabilities (TCBDD) to provide services for preschool through Year 23 services who may need additional services in a specialized setting. Our staff is dedicated to supporting students throughout their school experiences as they prepare to successfully transition from elementary to high school and into adulthood, including post-secondary training, college enrollment, military enlistment, or employment.

Sincerely,
Maplewood Local Schools' Special Education Team
