• Welcome to Special Services

    Everyone deserves educational opportunities that match their ability to learn.  We offer many support programs for children with disabilities from birth through age twenty two years old.

  • The Rialto Unified School District’s Special Services proudly serves approximately 3,100 exceptional students each year. Our mission is to provide every student with a highly effective Individualized Education Program (IEP) in an environment that supports their growth and enables them to reach their fullest potential.

    We offer a wide array of program options and specialized services designed to meet the diverse needs of students with disabilities throughout the district.

    • For our youngest learners, ages 3-5, we provide enriching preschool experiences at specialized campuses and integrated settings within state preschool programs.
    • From kindergarten through 12th grade, we deliver personalized services that prioritize inclusion and foster success in the least restrictive environments.
    • Additionally, our transition programs for young adults ages 18-22 are tailored to support their growth and preparation for life beyond high school.

    Our dedicated team works hand in hand with parents, offering comprehensive support in academics, behavior management, communication skills, and related services to ensure every child thrives. Together, we are committed to empowering each student to achieve their greatest potential.
