Welcome to the Special Education Services Program. 
We look forward to working with you to ensure that
your child's educational needs are met.

Special Education services are offered through a variety of programs
and services designed to meet the individual needs of classified
students and to provide support within the regular education program.

Every effort is made to ensure that, where appropriate, classified
students have opportunities to participate in the mainstream
educational program.

All services are offered in compliance with the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Parts 200 and 201 Relating
to the Education of Students With Disabilities of the Regulations of
the Commissioner of Education (NYS).
