NUSD provides a variety of services designed to remove barriers, support student well-being, and help every student access learning and experience success. Supports are based on individual student needs and may include specialized services, school-based interventions, and assistance for students and families experiencing challenging circumstances.

Occupational Therapy
School-based occupational therapy helps eligible students develop skills needed to participate successfully in their educational environment. Support may address fine motor skills, handwriting, use of classroom tools, sensory needs, independence, and other skills related to school participation.

Physical Therapy
School-based physical therapy supports eligible students in safely accessing and participating in their educational environment. Services may address mobility, positioning, movement, and participation in school activities and may include direct therapy, consultation, and collaboration with school staff.

Speech & Language Services
Speech and language services support eligible students who experience challenges with speech, language, communication, fluency, or voice. Services are individualized and may be provided individually, in small groups, or within the classroom.

Counseling & Behavioral Support
NUSD provides counseling and behavioral support to help students strengthen social-emotional skills, self-regulation, positive relationships, problem-solving, and behaviors that support success at school. Staff collaborate with students, families, and educators to identify needs and connect students with appropriate support.

McKinney-Vento & Student Housing Support
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act helps ensure that students experiencing housing instability have access to and can fully participate in their education. Students and families may qualify for additional assistance when experiencing homelessness or temporary or unstable housing, including situations such as living doubled-up with others due to loss of housing or economic hardship, staying in a shelter or motel, or lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.

NUSD works with eligible students and families to reduce barriers to school enrollment, attendance, and participation. Support may include assistance with enrollment, transportation, school supplies, access to meals and school programs, and connections to community resources.

If your family is experiencing a change in housing or you are unsure whether your situation qualifies, please contact Student Services. We are here to help.

Concerned About Your Child's Development?

NUSD participates in Child Find, an ongoing process to locate, identify, and evaluate children who may have a disability and may be eligible for special education services.

If you have concerns about your child's development, learning, communication, behavior, hearing, vision, or other areas, contact Student Services to learn more about the evaluation process.

NUSD provides a continuum of special education services designed to meet students where they are while supporting growth, independence, and meaningful participation in the school community. Placement and services are individualized and determined by each student’s IEP team.

Resource Services
Resource services provide specially designed instruction and support based on a student’s IEP goals. Services may occur within the general education classroom, in a smaller instructional setting, or through a combination of environments based on the student’s individual needs.

Navigator
Navigator provides additional academic, functional, and social-emotional support for K–8 students who require a more specialized learning environment. Smaller class sizes, certified special education teachers, and paraprofessional support allow instruction to be individualized while helping students build skills, confidence, and independence.

Compass
Compass provides a highly supportive learning environment for K–8 students with significant social-emotional or behavioral needs. Students receive individualized academic and behavioral support while developing strategies for self-regulation, positive relationships, problem-solving, and increased success in their least restrictive environment.

NUSD's Developmental Preschool provides specialized services for preschool-aged children with disabilities. Through developmentally appropriate learning experiences and individualized support, our team helps young learners strengthen communication, motor, cognitive, social-emotional, and adaptive skills while preparing for continued success in school.

Services are based on each child’s individual needs and may include specialized instruction, speech and language services, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and other supports identified through the evaluation and IEP process.

Child Find

NUSD has an ongoing responsibility to locate, identify, and evaluate children who may have a disability and may need special education services.
