The Special Education program of the Imperial County Office of Education is dedicated to ensure that our students receive a quality education focused on: academic skills, independent living skills, effective communication skills, and appropriate social-emotional/behavioral skills. It is by the collaborative efforts all of the parents, teachers, speech therapists, psychologists, nurses, administrators and all support staff, that we are able to provide such a quality educational program for our students.
