Students may be referred for special education services through the referral system of the campus.   Prior to referral, a student experiencing difficulty in the general classroom may be considered for all support services available to all students on the campus, such as tutorials, remedial, compensatory and other services.  Referrals may also be initiated by campus personnel, parents or other professionals. Campus, parent, or outside referrals should be initiated by contacting the student's school Counselor, Campus Administrator, or the WISD Director of Special Services.
