The Special Needs Department at Natick High is a professional team trained to evaluate and provide a variety of services to students with special needs. Since 1974, when chapter 766 became a Massachusetts law, towns and local school committees have been responsible for providing a free, appropriate education for all students, regardless of handicaps. The Special Needs team at Natick High staffs two special classes, three Resource Rooms, an alternative program and Work Study. In addition, they conduct exaluations and provide support services such as counseling, testing and language therapy. Since the aim of special education is to keep students in the mainstream of the school as much as possible, three aides are assigned to work with regular classroom teachers to help them accommodate special learners in their classes.
