Special Education
Working in cooperation with schools, parents, involved professionals and support agencies, Rockland BOCES Special Education Division offers assistance to classified and non-classified students from surrounding school districts.
We are proud of the many successful cooperative efforts with our component school districts and community agencies that support the unique and special educational needs of our students and their families.
As an educational entity vital in our community, we embrace our children and their families, and provide them with a clear path to academic excellence. The education of the whole child is paramount to our full service school model.
A strength-based approach with research based pedagogical practices connects all of our programs as we meet the diverse needs of our community.
Our partnerships with families, school districts, community-based organizations, major universities, and the county have produced outstanding educational outcomes for children in Rockland County. Teams of administrators work collaboratively across a continuum of options, from center-based, self-contained services to integrated district-based programs in more than 40 different public school sites across the county.
All teams also have access to wrap-around, psychiatric and other mental health supports.
The teams are:
Developmental Disabilities Programs
Elementary/Middle School Programs
Together, they are committed to providing the best programs for each child and family served. We believe that each child has the power to realize their dreams and that we can help guide them and connect them to our community. We believe in the education of the whole child.
