Section 750.20  Special Education and Related Services

a)         The Schools enroll students from all areas of the State and provide services to eligible students through their 22^nd birthday.  Students whose 22^nd birthday occurs during a regular school term may continue to receive services until the end of that school year.

1)         Illinois School for the Deaf (ISD) and Illinois School for the Visually Impaired (ISVI) provide special education and related services for students from birth to age five, preschool, and from kindergarten through the 12^th grade.

2)         Illinois Center for Rehabilitation Education-Roosevelt (ICRE-R) provides transition, independent living and related services to transition-aged students beginning at age 14½ through 22.  Younger students may be accepted if it has been determined they can benefit from the ICRE-R program.

b)         Since these Schools do not provide special education programs for all students in the State with auditory processing impairments, or for all students in the State who are deaf or hard of hearing, blind or visually impaired, or severely physically disabled, they should be considered as options in a continuum of special education programs available for those students in Illinois.
