The BOCES Special Education Department provides a variety of special education and related services to students with disabilities in our component districts. Currently we are serving approximately 245 school aged students in our self-contained classrooms, 60% of whom receive services in regular education buildings throughout our component districts. In addition, BOCES staff support the efforts of school districts to provide services to children within their home school through the provision of specialists in speech, occupational and physical therapy, in addition to itinerant teachers. Services are also available for preschoolers with disabilities.
