State and Federal Legislation requires a free and appropriate public education for all children with disabilities between the ages of 3 and 21.  To meet these requirements, Sangamon Area Special Education District, in cooperation with local member school districts, provides special education programs and services.

Programs and services are designed to meet the needs of students who have significant learning problems which prevent them from being totally successful in a preschool setting or in a regular classroom.
