Benefits of SSES

Supplemental Special Education Services (SSES) are on-line accounts made available to eligible parents of students with disabilities that have been impacted by COVID-19 school closures.

Families of students with eligible disabilities can use the on-line accounts to obtain goods and services up to a specific dollar amount that supplement what otherwise happens in school to help their child make more educational progress.
