KCSOS Special Education Programs
Who We Are
Throughout the geographical area of Kern County, there are students that require special education classes and services uniquely designed to address their disability. Often the student has a low incidence disability or the student’s needs can not be met in a typical classroom setting because of their specialized learning needs. The programs and services provided by the Kern County Superintendent of Schools Office, Division of Special Education Services is a collaborative effort on the part of the parents, local school district representatives and staff members to provide a learning environment and the specialists that are required to enhance the child’s learning. Programs and services are provided to children from birth through age 21.
