The Winslow Township Office of Student Support Services provides direct, indirect, and consultative services to meet the individual needs of all students receiving special education and/or related services. The department is responsible for the identification of students who may have a potentially disabling condition that adversely affects educational performance. Once the students' needs are identified, the Office of Student Support Services works to ensure that students receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education (F.A.P.E) within the Least Restrictive Environment (L.R.E.). Services provided to students may include, but are certainly not limited to: special education programming, speech/language therapy, in-school counseling, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral support services. These services are provided by various skilled professionals such as: school psychologists, learning disabilities teachers-consultants, social workers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists.
Every school year, the Office of Student Support Service’s goal is to implement new and exciting resources to support the needs of students and families living within the Winslow Township School District. Our district continues to be one of the few districts in Southern New Jersey to employ a fulltime behavioral analyst to support the growing incidence of Autism. The Student Support Services administrators and staff encourage open communication and collaboration with parents, students as well as other community stakeholders. Our office is enthusiastic this school year where additional services will be implemented to support the growing needs of students receiving special education and/or related services.
