    The Toppenish School District conducts specific activities for the purposes of locating, evaluating and identifying students ages birth to twenty-one (21) with suspected disabilities and who reside within the district’s boundaries.

    Free Developmental Screenings are available for children ages birth through five.

    Children are screened in the areas of motor, concepts, speech and language by professionals. A hearing and vision screening may also be done. Developmental screening can identify children who are in need of further evaluation and/or participation in early intervention or early childhood services that address their areas of need.

    Inclusionary Practices

    SPED Inclusion Image

    To improve educational success for our students with disabilities, we have made it a district wide initiative to provide inclusive education for all students to the greatest extent possible. Research supports the benefits of educating students with disabilities alongside their non-disabled peers. We have implemented specific steps, practices, & resource materials to make inclusive education a reality in Toppenish!

    Toppenish School District was selected as an University of Washington Haring Center Inclusionary Practices Project Demonstration Site in Spring 2020.  In collaboration with the UW, Toppenish School District continues to highlight the following inclusionary practices:

    • Inclusive Mission and Vision
    • Differentiated Curriculum Planning and Instruction
    • Collaboration
