Abstract
Special education service delivery models are indispensable tools that ensure that all students receive the support necessary for effective specially designed instruction in a least restrictive environment. The central guiding question of this project is simply: how can middle schools navigate the complex task of meeting the diverse needs of special education students through targeted instruction and service model implementation? By delving into this question, this project seeks to shed light on the already existing evidence based practices and potential gaps in service delivery. This project explores the interplay between the resource room, self-contained, and co-taught service models of special education and how they can be utilized to provide a nexus of support for special education students. Ultimately, by combining these models and offering a three-pronged multi-faceted approach, educators and administrators can create a dynamic and responsive system that will address the individualized needs of special education students. Finally, by offering students a continuum of service delivery models to tailor instruction, student learning gains are more accessible and evident.
