At Telluride Schools, we believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and our Special Education Program is designed to ensure that students with disabilities receive the support and services they need. Our program aligns with Colorado's standards for special education, providing individualized education plans, support, and accommodations. 

Program Highlights: 

• Individualized Education Plans (IEPs): Tailored to each student's unique needs, our IEPs outline specific goals, services, and accommodations. 

• Comprehensive Support Services: Including speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, counseling, and more.
