Professional Development: Special Education

Special Education

Special Education Support at the St. Louis RPDC

The Special Education consultants at the St. Louis RPDC assist districts in programming and planning for students with special needs. We offer expertise in the general education curriculum as well as assessments, such as the MAP and MAP-A, as required under state and federal law. The Special Education consultants also provide training and workshops and collaborate with other programs in the St. Louis RPDC to meet the needs of districts as they serve students with disabilities.
