The Exceptional Student Education (ESE) programs in Title I schools provide resources, services, and support to help exceptional students address skill deficits. Despite these services, many exceptional students struggle to perform academically compared to their nondisabled peers. This qualitative descriptive case study explored the perceptions of teachers about the resources, services, and supports required to meet the needs of successful ESE students in selected Title I schools in Southeastern United States. Maslow's hierarchy of needs served as the theoretical framework of the study and four of its five constructs--physiological, safety, love and belonging, and self-esteem needs--informed the research questions. Maslow theorized that individuals must satisfy their deficiency needs before they can progress to their growth needs. The study occurred in two elementary schools and a middle school, and the study participants were six ESE certified teachers with at least 2 years of experience working in Title I schools. Data were collected through teacher interviews, questionnaires, observations, and documents. The study revealed that some resources, services, and supports required to support the needs of successful exceptional students are free or reduced-price school meals, flexible learning schedule, a safe physical environment, acknowledging students' efforts through awards, and creating inclusive learning environment. Overall conclusions from the study are students can succeed academically when their deficiency needs are satisfied and when teachers help them revise and practice key skills necessary to grasp new skills. Future research could explore how ESE resources, services, and supports differ in different geographical regions of the United States.
