This week, many of the programs developed by the Special Services Division were featured at a two-day conference held at the Tulare County Office of Education (TCOE) but organized by the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE).
The conference, entitled EmbraceAbilities, is the result of a multi-year study of special education programs provided by county offices of education and school districts throughout the state. Through a grant provided by the California Department of Education and the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE), LACOE determined that TCOE’s special education programs are exemplars for the state.
