SPECIAL EDUCATION

Archived News

The Special Education Department of the Educational Service Center of Lorain County offers programs and services to all school districts throughout Lorain County. These programs and services support districts, whether directly or indirectly, to meet the changing needs of their students with disabilities.
 
The special education staff includes supervisors, psychologists, teachers, therapists, transition coordinators and paraprofessionals who provide educational services tailored to match district requests. The Special Education Program tailors the services requested to meet school district needs as to the extent of services required and amount of time a school district may need.
