Special Education

The special education department is committed to supporting every student’s unique learning needs. Our goal is to provide students with specially designed instruction, real-world learning opportunities, accommodations, and access to the curriculum—helping them build the skills they need for future success. We believe every child can learn, and we tailor our support to meet their needs in the most inclusive setting possible. Our dedicated intervention specialists, intervention assistants, and related service providers work closely with classroom teachers and school staff to provide a supportive and collaborative learning environment. Hilliard City Schools follows all state and federal requirements to provide a free and appropriate education for students.

What is a Parent Mentor?

A Parent Mentor works in collaboration with families and the school to help students in special education reach their educational potential. If you have a question or concern or need guidance, the Parent Mentor is available to assist.

Currently, there are approximately 100 Parent Mentors in Ohio. They serve more than one-third of the schools and families in Ohio’s school districts. Ohio’s Parent Mentors offer all services free of charge to families.
