Spring 2026 SOWK 587 Week 04 - School and Special Education Laws and Policies
  • February 2026

Social workers are frequently placed in settings serving students with disabilities and need to understand and interface with special educational services. Having specific knowledge of special education law, how services are provided to students, and the nuanced needs of these students is an essential aspect of school social work and of being a professional transitioning into and partnering with schools. Week four is asynchronous with readings from the textbook and Washington’s K-12 education oversight body. Students will engage in forums and a quiz exploring special educational law. There is also a lecture video on implementing services in Washington State.

The agenda is as follows:

  • Week four course plan
  • General overview of special education
  • Referral process for special services
  • Positions and roles
  • Mandated reporting

The learning objectives for this week include:

  • To gain knowledge regarding the legal landscape of disability services within a school setting
  • To have an understanding of the obligations schools have to serve students with special needs
  • To articulate ethical decision-making
