What is PASS special Education program?

PASS stands for Program for Academic Success and Support. It's not a nationally standardized special education program; rather, it's a term used by *individual* school districts or schools to describe their specific program for students needing academic support. The specifics of a PASS program will vary greatly depending on the location.

Essentially, a school might use the acronym PASS to umbrella a range of services for students who require extra help in school. These services could include:

* Individualized Education Programs (IEPs): Students with diagnosed disabilities who receive specialized instruction and support as outlined in their IEP.

* 504 Plans: Students with disabilities or learning differences that don't qualify for an IEP but still need accommodations.

* Resource Room Support: Students who receive supplemental instruction in a separate classroom setting.

* Tutoring: One-on-one or small group instruction to address specific academic needs.

* Intervention programs: Targeted instruction focused on specific skill deficits.

To understand what a specific school's or district's PASS program entails, you need to contact that particular school or district directly and ask for information about their program. They'll be able to explain what services are offered and who is eligible.
