Our goal is to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning and prepare all students for a successful future.

Opening Doors to Opportunity for Every Child
At Florence ISD, we believe that every child deserves the chance to reach their highest potential. It’s never too early—or too late—to explore a child’s educational opportunities. If you suspect that a child may have a developmental delay or disability, Florence ISD offers specialized services that can help build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

We provide support for eligible infants, children, and young adults who may be experiencing challenges in the following areas:
● Autism

● Deaf-Blindness
● Developmental Delay
● Emotional Disturbance
● Intellectual Disability
● Learning Disability
● Orthopedic Impairment

Florence ISD is a collaborative partnership of dedicated students, staff, families, and community members. We are committed to providing a safe, engaging learning environment with equitable support, high expectations, and diversified instruction—ensuring that all students, including those with special needs, are empowered to succeed.

Every child is unique. While some may require additional support, all children have the right to an education and the ability to learn. Through inclusive and meaningful learning experiences,children grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally—developing self-confidence and the skills to thrive in school and beyond.
