Special Services

In collaboration with general education, we will make a positive difference one student, one family, one classroom, and one school at a time. 

The mission of the Berkeley County Office of Special Services is to ensure positive outcomes for students through innovative instruction, a strength-based focus, communication and embracing individuality.

We will utilize a growth-mindset as we meet each opportunity and challenge for success. We will share ideas, pose questions for improvement, and problem-solve solutions for our student-centered outcomes. We will encourage one another to link learning across disciplines and bring new ideas for solving problems.

Priority initiatives include:

  • High quality specially designed instruction provided using standards-based instruction, personalized learning, and innovative programs.

  • Positive outcomes for students aligned with the system of Results-Driven Accountability.

  • Coordinated systems of support in all BCSD classrooms for academic and social/emotional.

We consider it a privilege to serve our children with disabilities to accomplish the vision and mission of the Berkeley County School District.
