SPECIAL EDUCATION
Welcome to the Jackson County School's Department of Special Education. Our goal is that this site will provide you with information about our department, the services we provide, how to access those services, and links to resources in the community and our state. We serve students with disabilities aged 3 through 21 based on the needs of each individual student. Contact Jackson County School's Department of Special Education for assistance with the identification and referral process.
All children grow and develop at different rates. A problem in one or two of the skill areas may not be serious, but it is important to be certain. The sooner the delay in development is discovered, the sooner help can be offered. Screening is the first step in identifying children who may need special services.
