Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is committed to providing special education students with opportunities along a continuum of services that offers access to and participation in the activities of the school and community environments as appropriate to the age and educational needs of the student.

Fairfax County Public Schools upholds the principles of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) as they support the rights of students with disabilities to have decisions regarding their individual instructional program made through the collaboration of parents who know their child best and professional educators who have knowledge of instructional practices and experience in guiding students with disabilities to become productive citizens.

Across the continuum of special education services, Fairfax County Public Schools serves students with one or more of the following identified disabilities:

The Special Education Department at Oakton High School services students identified with special needs. The curriculum for students with disabilities is based on the Fairfax County Schools Program of Studies (POS) and the student's individualized education program (IEP). Educational goals for each student are determined through the IEP process.
