Welcome to the Office of Special Services home page. Our office provides support to students and staff of the district. Our staff is dedicated to the continued improvement of services to provide a productive, enjoyable and enriching experience for all students. While serving students with disabilities is a primary function of this office, this is best achieved by improving educational services to all. We coordinate our services with the school personnel, school counselors, school nurses and our gifted services staff as well as the community agencies which serve our students.
Special Services Vision
The ACSD Special Services department seeks to provide a meaningfully inclusive learning environment that highlights individual strengths, focuses on growth and nurtures lifelong independence through collaborative, data-based instructional decisions.
