Special Education Services (SES) compiled a noncomprehensive list of resources to assist in providing meaningful educational opportunities for students during this unprecedented time. In this attached document, educators and parents/guardians may discover individual resources for a particular need. Resources for topics such as related services, preschool, transition, mental health, and other areas are included in this document. The resources in this document have not all been vetted by ALSDE, nor should this be considered an endorsement. Educators should be mindful of digital resources that require teachers or students to create online accounts. Please check with district policies and consider HIPPA, FERPA, and COPPA laws with regards to student privacy BEFORE implementing any of these resources.
