Tokeneke Special Education

Contacts

Transitions from preschool, elementary, middle, and high school provide special opportunities for you and your child’s IEP team to work together to develop a program that supports your child’s evolving needs.

When making these transitions, students with disabilities participate in the same admissions processes as their general education peers. The majority of students with disabilities attend the same Darien public schools they would attend if they did not have a disability.
