Keller ISD provides a range of services for students with autism, including specialized instruction, social skills training, and behavior support.

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.
