As a team, we serve students, families, and schools to empower students to achieve world-class outcomes by providing specialized instruction and services. Together we work with family members, home support staff, peers, school specialists, teachers, district consultants and organizations within our community. We aim to help students develop important skills that will provide the foundation for learning, making social connections and developing life skills.
Our program is designed for students K-3rd grades who experience cognitive impairment and may have one or more additional disabilities in language, motor, or other areas of development. Academic and living skills instruction are modified to meet student needs. SSN programs are available in various neighborhood schools throughout the district.
The Douglas County School District is committed to providing young children and eligible students with disabilities a free and appropriate public education consistent with federal and state laws. These laws require the district to identify, locate and assess all students within the district from birth to 21 years of age who may have disabilities, and to provide appropriate support and services to those eligible.
