WELCOME FROM OUR DIRECTOR

Welcome to the Special Education Services page at Region 14 ESC! As Director, I'm honored to support our districts in providing exceptional educational opportunities for all students with disabilities. Our goal is to empower educators with the resources and guidance needed to foster inclusive, supportive, and successful learning environments.

Professional Development is provided on a regular basis for personnel working with students with disabilities. Much of the training is designed for interdisciplinary teams from both regular and special education. Training is based on needs identified through an annual needs assessment. Special Education topics include assistive technology, inclusive practices, instructional strategies, discipline and behavior management, developmentally appropriate curriculum, and disability specific strategies such as classroom modification for the visually impaired or strategies for teaching students with traumatic brain injury.

Technical Assistance is provided by ESC consultants on campuses throughout the region. Consultants may assist teachers with program development, instructional modification, selection/use/modification of instructional materials, assistive technology and behavior management. Upon request from a local district, a specialist is provided for an individual in-depth assessment of a student.
