About Special Education in Keller ISD

Keller ISD serves the Texas area and is committed to providing a comprehensive special education program for students with disabilities. Keller ISD operates under the oversight of TEA Region unknown, ensuring adherence to state and federal regulations. The district strives to create inclusive learning environments where all students can thrive.

In Keller ISD, the process for determining eligibility for special education services follows a structured timeline. Upon receiving a referral for a Full and Individual Evaluation (FIE), the district has approximately 45 school days to complete the evaluation and hold an Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) committee meeting to discuss the results. Parents will receive at least a 5-day notice before the scheduled ARD meeting to allow for adequate preparation and participation.

Common Questions from Keller ISD Families

What types of services are available for my child with autism in Keller ISD?

Keller ISD provides a range of services for students with autism, including specialized instruction, social skills training, and behavior support. The ARD committee will work with you to determine the most appropriate services based on your child's individual needs, which may include classroom accommodations, therapy services, or assistive technology.

My child's ARD meeting is coming up. What should I expect?

At the ARD meeting, you will collaborate with a team of educators, including teachers, administrators, and specialists, to develop your child's Individualized Education Program (IEP). Be prepared to discuss your child's strengths, areas of need, and goals for the upcoming year. You have the right to actively participate in the decision-making process.

Who can I contact if I have concerns about my child's progress in special education?

Your first point of contact should be your child's special education teacher. You can also reach out to the campus principal or special education coordinator. If your concerns are not addressed at the campus level, you can contact the district's special education department directly.

Practical Tip for Keller ISD Parents

Keller ISD, with approximately 10,000 students, is a relatively small district. In smaller districts, it's common for one special education director to handle a wide range of responsibilities. To ensure your concerns are documented and addressed efficiently, consider communicating via email. This creates a paper trail of your interactions and allows the director to prioritize and respond to your requests effectively.
