The International School of Louisiana provides direct, related, and support services to meet the needs of students with exceptionalities. Each of our campuses is served by certified special education teachers, social workers, nurses, and speech therapists. Occupational therapy, physical therapy, adaptive physical education, and other services are provided as needed by contracted providers. The International School of Louisiana assures that a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) is available to all children with disabilities who attend one of our campuses.
If you suspect that your student may have a disability, please contact your campus leader to share your concerns. Personnel from other schools can contact Susan Chapman, schapman@isl-edu.org, with SER maintenance requests.
