Special Education Committee (SEC) .

Purpose:

The Special Education Committee brings together people who are interested in special education and children with special needs and is a division of the PTA. We are here for any child receiving services: children who receive speech, reading, or language tutoring, physical or occupational therapy, children with medical or allergy issues, children receiving no services but are challenged in a particular area. We are here for children with learning difficulties, physical disabilities and those who might be facing special issues socially.
