School Overview

The Stanislaus County Office of Education (SCOE) Special Education department, located on Stonum Road in Modesto, serves as a vital resource hub for students with disabilities across the region. Rather than functioning as a single traditional school building, this facility acts as the administrative and operational headquarters for specialized programs designed to support children and young adults from infancy through age 22. Their mission is to provide inclusive, high-quality educational experiences that meet the unique cognitive, physical, and social-emotional needs of students who require more intensive support than can be provided in a standard general education setting.

The department offers a wide array of services, including specialized academic instruction, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral support. By collaborating closely with local school districts, parents, and community agencies, the Stanislaus County Special Education team ensures that Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are tailored to help each student achieve personal milestones and greater independence. Through their commitment to evidence-based practices and compassionate care, they strive to empower students to reach their full potential within the broader Stanislaus County community.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
