Shasta County Special Education

The Shasta County Office of Education (SCOE) Special Education department, located at 3711 Oasis Rd. in Redding, functions as the central hub for specialized instructional services throughout Shasta County. Rather than operating as a traditional single-site school, this department coordinates and provides essential educational support for students with disabilities across the region. Their mission focuses on ensuring that students with unique learning needs—ranging from early childhood development to transition programs for young adults—receive equitable access to high-quality, inclusive instruction tailored to their specific Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).

The department works in close partnership with local school districts to offer a comprehensive continuum of services, including speech and language therapy, psychological assessments, specialized academic instruction, and occupational therapy. By providing resources for both families and educators, the Shasta County Special Education program emphasizes the development of functional, social, and academic skills, striving to empower students to reach their full potential within their home communities. Their commitment extends to fostering a collaborative environment where advocacy and professional development remain at the forefront of their educational support strategy.
