SPECIAL EDUCATION
NEEDS
Our special children in the
Arlington Independent School District are provided with the optimum of care and
attention. The buses are equipped with lifts and attendants to make a
handicapped child secure, not only while riding on the bus, but while getting
on and off of a bus as well. Once on the bus, the child is then secured as
specified by the ARD or IEP documents. Our drivers are certified to do the job
required. The special needs are addressed in CPR classes, driver certification
classes, and on a daily basis with the
Special
Education Specialist Special Education is just what it implies, "Every need
is a special need." We at Transportation try to meet every need on an
individual, as well as an inclusion basis.
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION AND ARD PAPERS
The
Transportation Department is unable to set up transportation for a child unless
we have the proper paper work for the child. Meetings are scheduled to evaluate
the type of educational accommodations needed for the child and transportation
if qualified and needed, thus the IEP papers are sent from the school to
transportation, informing Transportation of the requirements. There is a three
to five-business day turn-around time for the set-up of the students'
transportation which is done by the
Special
Education Router Foreman . When the driver is contacted and a bus assigned,
the driver will leave a yellow card at the residence with the bus information,
as well as the pick-up and drop-off time schedule for the parent. This
procedure insures that each child is given a bus specifically designed for
their needs. |
