The Tuscaloosa City Schools’ Department of Special Education Support Services promotes opportunities for students to participate in educational and extracurricular activities designed to facilitate maximum student achievement. A full range of services, meeting the needs of all identified students' grades Pre K-12, special education, and gifted, is offered in all schools in the Tuscaloosa City School System.
Special Education Services include qualified Special Education Teachers and Paraprofessionals, Speech/Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Orientation & Mobility specialists, Board Certified Behavior Analysts, School Psychologists, and other related service providers. Together we plan and provide educational programs for students with disabilities in partnership with general education staff, administrators, and parents.
We believe that parents are a valuable and essential part of the educational process and that their aspirations for and insights about their child’s program are an integral component as we plan together for their child’s educational success.
