Multiple Disabilities
SESA Multiple Disabilities Specialists work closely with school-based teams and other professionals to help develop and implement educational programs for students with moderate to severe multiple disabilities. Student programs are individualized to meet a student’s specific needs based on best practices, present level of performance, and student goals. Specialists work with the team to create materials, develop activities, implement strategies, and foster independence. Specialists can provide both on-site and distance support (Zoom, Teams, etc.).
