Here at Akron-Fairgrove Elementary, we strive to make sure that our students with special needs have every opportunity to participate in the general classroom environment. The special education teacher works closely with general education teachers, the parents and the child study team to develop the best, most individualized program in order for each child to feel accepted and be successful.

Our Special Education Program works closely with our Title 1 teacher, our general education teachers and our paraprofessionals to provide researched-based interventions for our students based on their individual needs. We have experienced great joy as we have watched our students go from a place of struggle and frustration to success and confidence!
