PUPIL SERVICES/SPECIAL EDUCATION

The Creston School staff is complemented by, and works in cooperation with, additional professional support staff from the Ogle County Special Education Cooperative located in Byron. Parents will be apprised of any plan of action and will be asked for their support and participation in the implementation of the plan. If the interventions do not produce the desired results, other plans of action may be warranted and may require some comprehensive forms of testing and assessment. The school staff is always available to discuss these options with parents/guardians.

The following Ogle County Educational Cooperative staff will be available to serve Creston School District for 2008-2009:

  • Director of Special Education:          Chris Tornabene
  • Psychologist:                                      Marlene Ford
  • Speech/Language Pathologist:           Jill Kane
  • Physical Therapist:                             Kelly Speltz
  • Occupational Therapist:                     Kelly Speltz

 

All children receiving special education services must have an annually developed plan (IEP) indicating the educational program developed to meet the specific educational needs identified for that child.

 

Title I Reading Support - Students who do not qualify for special education services may gain additional help in reading from the Federal No Child Left Behind Program which provides help in reading by a qualified reading teacher. Students are screened each year and must meet the federal guidelines to qualify for services.
