Children with Special Needs |

The MISD's 21 school districts serve nearly 20,000 students
who are challenged by needs that make them eligible for
special education. These needs arise from physical, mental
or emotional handicaps making it difficult for the students
to keep up with their peers. The MISD takes pride in its
ability to bring the best in education to students with such
diverse needs. Services range from assistance to students
within their own district classrooms to the operation of
special schools and programs.
