The Westwood Regional Department of Special Services' mission is to support students, teachers and parents in our community to address the diverse needs of students through a variety of programs so that they can access the curriculum to improve academically, socially, and emotionally. As a result, we have developed specialized programs that are tailored to the specific needs of our students.
