Education plays a vital role in your child’s and family’s life, and having a child
with special needs can make choices about education and schools more complex.
Subtopics included are:
Education-Related Choices
The education-related choices for a child with special health care needs
can be difficult and confusing, and you may not know about the options and resources
available. Our goal is to give reliable information to assist you in making
decisions about where and which type of school your child will attend, and in
finding appropriate education services.
