Welcome to the Irvington Department of Special Services website. The Department of Special Services provides a wide range of resources to promote the successful education of students with disabilities in the Least Restrictive Environment. The Department of Special Services encourages high expectations, variability, and flexibility in instruction that meets the diverse needs of every child while addressing the New Jersey Student Learning Standards.

The Special Services Department continues to explore and expand our services to meet the unique needs of all children, but also to promote the education of students with disabilities in the general education environment.

The department is composed of a dedicated staff of Child Study Team Members, related service providers, Special Education teachers, and other specialists who ensure that all students with disabilities are identified, evaluated, and provided with the appropriate services according to N.J.A.C.6A:14.
