The needs of students with disabilities vary widely according to the type and severity of disability they have. Every student is unique and will respond to different environments and teaching strategies. The Corvallis School District strives to provide a full array of supports and options to our special education students through the following primary programs:

Learning Resource Center (LRC)
Learning Resource Centers are available in every school to provide specially designed instruction to students whose disability adversely impacts progress in a general education curriculum. Licensed special education teachers and educational assistants provide instruction in small groups or individually, within a general classroom or in a separate class setting.

Life Skills
Life Skills classrooms are designed for students with a variety of developmental disabilities who need a highly structured environment. Instruction is focused on academics at the student’s level and a curriculum that prepares students for independent living including personal safety. These classrooms serve every grade level and are located at Jefferson Elementary School, Linus Pauling Middle School and Corvallis High School.

WINGS
WINGS is a post-school transition program available to students between the ages of 18 to 21 with developmental disabilities. The program provides first-hand independent living and work experiences within the community according to the students’ individual needs.
