Charter Schools
Charter schools are tuition-free public schools (with campus-based and independent study options), and they have public-school responsibility to provide special education services per the student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Most charter schools have waiting lists and lotteries for enrollment, so it is best to look into this option early on. Children are eligible to attend charter schools not located in their home districts. Visit the California Department of Education website to find out more. View charters’ websites, make phone calls, and schedule visits to see if the charter option is right for your child’s individualized educational needs.

- Each school district belongs to a Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA). The SELPA provides assistance to assure program availability to all students with disabilities. They have early infant programs for children less than three years of age, and special education classes for children age three and up.
- The districts also provide speech therapy, occupational therapy, parent training, and other related services. If a district does not have a service that your child needs, they will contract out to a county program, or pay for a private non-public service.
- The school districts are obligated by law to provide a free and appropriate education (FAPE) for a child with autism or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD-NOS).
- Note: Elk Grove, Sacramento, Folsom Cordova and San Juan are all single district SELPAs. All other districts constitute the fourth SELPA in Sacramento County. Other areas may incorporate multiple districts within their SELPAs.
