Special Non-Public Access Program (SNAP)
Special education and related services for students parentally placed in private schools, parochial schools, and home school programs in St Louis County are provided throughout the school year by the Special Non-Public Access Program (SNAP).
A student is considered eligible for SNAP services when:
- The student meets the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) criteria for being identified as a student with an educational disability.
- The parent signs a release allowing Special School District and the non-public school to share pertinent information related to the evaluation and Services Plan.
- The student maintains regular attendance (attending 75% of their scheduled special education and related service sessions).
Special education and related services are provided at the designated public school SNAP sites after school, between the hours of 4-7 PM, or during school hours at the student's home school of residence in St. Louis County.
About SNAP Services
A student with an educational disability is eligible for SNAP services following an evaluation by Special School District (SSD).
Special education services provided through the SNAP program include learning strategies, organizational strategies, social skills instruction, speech and language, deaf/hard of hearing and vision services, and consultation for orthopedic impairments.
Related services provided at some sites include occupational therapy and physical therapy. Related services are provided in support of the special education program and cannot be provided in isolation.
The amount of service time provided to any individual student will not exceed 180 minutes per week, with the maximum of 120 minutes per week for any one special education service. Although mutual agreement on schedule is preferred, the final schedule for the implementation of special education and related services is at the discretion of the SNAP staff.
