Eligibility for Special Education Services

The Souderton Area School District conducts ongoing Child-Find activities for the purpose of identifying students who may be in need of special education and related services. Additionally, school-based teams regularly review data and provide additional evidence-based supports through our Multi-Tiered System of Supports framework. A multi-disciplinary evaluation (MDE) may be recommended if a child does not make sufficient progress with intensive supports.
