Special Education Department

The special education department provides many early prevention and intervention services to infants, preschool, and school-age children. We aim to provide quality, research-based support services to children, families, and Local School Education Agencies. We believe everyone can achieve their optimum performance if systems of support are implemented with fidelity.

"Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better that you found it."
--Marion Wright Edelman
