SETSS

All students with disabilities who require special education teacher support services (SETSS) have Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The IEP contains information about your child’s interests, strengths, needs, goals, and educational program. It is a legal document that describes how the DOE will provide your child:

  • A Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)

  • In the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE).
