Welcome Community Members!

Children who are born with physical and developmental disabilities require special attention and services. Family-professional-community partnerships are essential and this important collaboration leads to the best outcomes for the child. Research shows that the best time to intervene is before the child is three years old. During the earliest years, the greatest progress can be made in overcoming physical and educational delays.

An informed and involved community is crucial in working towards the success of all students. The SELPA website is designed to give community members and professionals the basic information about the special education process and the types of services and programs that are available in Kern County schools.
