Special Services

Canon City Schools is committed to ensuring that every student has access to a high-quality education that meets their individual needs.

What Is Special Education?

Special education is not a place—it is a set of services and supports designed to meet the unique learning needs of students with disabilities. Services are provided at no cost to parents and are individualized through an Individualized Education Program (IEP).
