The Meeker and Wright Special Education Cooperative (MAWSECO) is a partnership of public school districts located west of Minneapolis and south of St. Cloud. Since 1975, MAWSECO has worked to support students, families, and school staff by coordinating high-quality special education services across districts. By sharing staff, expertise, and resources, member schools can provide more opportunities for students while keeping services efficient and equitable.
MAWSECO proudly serves families in seven school districts: Annandale School District, Dassel-Cokato School District, Delano Public Schools, Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted School District, Litchfield Public Schools, Maple Lake School District, and Rockford Area Schools.

Birth to three services provided through your local school district focus on a family coaching model. We help you find tips and tricks to implement throughout your day that promote growth and learning. This may look like playing, talking with caregivers, and asking caregivers to join in in our play. These services are voluntary and there is not cost involved.
This model differs from the medical services model. Medical services provided in a clinic often center around one-on-one time with intensive focus on skills on a more regular basis. The family is not always directly involved in this type of intervention. These services are funded through your family’s insurance.
