Cross-Categorical Collaborative Learning Centers

The Educational Service Center of Central Ohio provides special education classes (MD/CC) designed to support the unique needs of students in the public school setting who experience moderate to intensive disabilities. Serving students ages 5-21, the program is a link in the continuum of program options for students with disabilities. The program promotes and facilites inclusion opportunities for students with appropriate supports. 

Students are supported by a team of highly qualified and licensed/certified ESC professionals, which may include a para-professional, occupational therapist, speech and language pathologists, transition specialist and an adapted physical education teacher. Physical therapy services also can be provided on an individual basis. Staff work collaboratively with district personnel to support students and parents. 

Staff develop and implement Individualized Education Program goals designed to meet the needs of each student. With a maximum class size of eight, students also benefit from small group instruction in a highly specialized learning environment.
