Special Education

We are ready to support every learner.

At Winona Area Public Schools, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive — just as they are. Our Special Education team is ready to meet students where they are and provide the individualized support they need to succeed. Whether it’s academic, behavioral, social or emotional needs, we are here to create a learning environment that is inclusive, respectful, and empowering for all.

We’re proud to offer a continuum of services designed to support students from birth until age 22. Licensed special education teachers, support staff, and related service providers partner with families and classroom educators to build personalized learning plans that reflect each student’s strengths, challenges, and dreams. Together, we make sure students not only feel seen and supported — but also inspired to achieve their goals.
