Programs & Schools
Preschool
Hemet Unified School District has specialized programs at various school sites for preschool age children who qualify for special education services (including speech therapy). After the appropriate assessment, placement in these specialized programs is determined by the Individualized Educational Program (IEP) team. As a parent and/or guardian, you are a valuable member of the IEP team that makes decisions regarding placement and services for your child.
Hemet Unified School District has a Preschool Assessment Team (PAT) which specializes in the assessment of preschool-aged children. After an initial consultation appointment with the parent and/or guardian and the child, an assessment plan may be developed for the child in order to determine if he/she qualifies for special educational services (including speech therapy), according to state guidelines.
Hemet Unified School District begins providing services to children at the age of three. If the child is younger than three and is receiving early intervention services through Inland Regional Center or another agency, the process of transitioning services to the school district usually begins when the child is 2 years, 9 months of age.
If you suspect that a child may have a disability, please contact the HUSD Special Education Department at (951) 765-5100 Extension: 4021

Adult Transition Program (ATP)
Students Achieving Independent Living Success (S.A.I.L.S) is a transition program for special education students ages 18-22, designed to “teach work” and support growth into adulthood. Program activities take place in the community, at worksites, and other locations with the goal of helping students acquire the skills to secure and maintain employment after they leave school. The daily living, academic, and domestic skills that are an integral part of working and the adult world are also emphasized.
Transition students learn to ride public transportation, budget earnings, behave appropriately in public, follow directions, and more. As they progress, students fine-tune their work abilities, determine job preferences, and learn to work with growing independence.
