PSD Special Services

The **Puyallup School District (PSD) Special Services** department serves as the central administrative hub for managing specialized educational programs and resources for students with disabilities across the district. Located in Puyallup, Washington, this department is responsible for ensuring that the district remains in compliance with federal and state regulations, such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), while providing the necessary support systems to foster an inclusive learning environment for all students.

The department oversees a wide range of essential functions, including the coordination of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), 504 plans, and specialized instruction tailored to meet the unique academic, social, and developmental needs of students. By collaborating with parents, classroom teachers, school psychologists, and therapists, PSD Special Services works to identify student needs early and provide the appropriate interventions, accommodations, and related services—such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral support—required to ensure every student has equitable access to the district's curriculum and the opportunity to achieve their educational goals.
