Preston Public Schools provides a free and appropriate public education to students with disabilities in an environment that is deemed least restrictive for each student. Special education personnel are assigned to either Preston Veterans' Memorial School or Preston Plains Middle School and include special education teachers and school psychologists. Related services personnel (speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists) provide services to students in district and to Preston students attending Norwich Free Academy as well as certain out-of-district placements. All special education personnel collaborate with regular education staff to endure special needs students are able to successfully participate in the regular education curriculum to the greatest extend possible.
