A Guide for Parents

The comprehensive Special Education Program offered by the Barrow County School District provides appropriate service for all students ages 3 through 22 who have been identified as handicapped. 

These include students who are:

• physically handicapped

• visually or auditorally handicapped

• intellectually disabled

• emotionally disturbed

• language and/or learning disabled

• speech handicapped. 

A team of specially trained teachers, support personnel, parents, and sometimes the students themselves, work together to develop personal knowledge and skills toward reaching each student's maximum ability.

Different types of special education programs are available because handicapped children have a wide range of individual needs.  You may review each of our programs by clicking the links below.
