Special Education

Marshall ISD provides specialized learning programs and services to students with disabilities.  This includes adapting the learning environment to meet the unique needs of the student and to ensure the student has access to the general curriculum.  The admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee makes the decisions regarding eligibility and placement.

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • Deaf-blindness

  • Deaf or Hard of Hearing

  • Emotional Disability
