Who We Serve
Students attending Switzer Learning Center come from multiple school districts in and around Los Angeles County. Switzer Learning Center is certified by the California Department of Education to provide special education and related services for students with the following IEP eligibility: Specific Learning Disability (SLD), Emotional Disturbance (ED), Other Health Impairment (OHI), ADD/ADHD, Speech and Language Impairment (SLI) and Autism (AUT), Asperger’s syndrome or other neurodevelopment disabilities.
Students are referred to Switzer Learning Center from their home school district after their IEP team has determined that public schools can no longer can meet the student’s needs. Federal and state law mandates that a free and appropriate public education be available to all children at no cost to parents.
In some instances, parents elect to send their children to Switzer Learning Center as a private pay student. In these instances, an evaluation and determination of need for services is conducted at Switzer Learning Center. For more information about private pay options, click here.
