SEMINOLE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Revised 4.24.11
Seminole County Public Schools recognizes that their students with
special needs may require additional services beyond their public education. This brochure is presented to help parents begin to locate
needed resources available to their child and to find help navigating the
social services network. Availability of resources fluctuates with the
economy and other factors affecting funding. It may be important for
some parents to seek help as early as possible for some resources that
entail a lengthy waiting list. This brochure is not intended to be an exhaustive listing of resources or an endorsement of any one agency. It is
merely a starting place.
