PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Sandhills Educational Services Cooperative (SESC) was formed in 1974 to provide

special education services to school districts in Custer and Blaine counties.  Currently 

the following school districts are members of the SESC:  Anselmo-Merna, Ansley, 

Broken Bow, Callaway, and Sandhills.   An Advisory Board comprised of member district 

Superintendents meet to discuss programs, policies and related topics. 

PHILOSOPHY

It is the desire of the Sandhills Educational Services Cooperative staff to continue to 

provide the leadership and support services network vitally necessary to assist students 

of all ages to meet their individual educational needs.  Meeting each student's needs is 

accomplished by providing an appropriate and efficient referral system, comprehensive 

evaluations resulting in accurate and reliable identification information, and a comprehensive 

curriculum to enhance social, emotional and academic growth and success.  Sandhills 

Educational staff strive to meet the needs of children with disabilities in an inclusive environment 

with their peers, which requires the least amount of change in their school day,and still provides 

them with success.  

SERVICES PROVIDED

The Sandhills Educational Services provides a wide range of special education services for 

children with disabilities from birth to age 21. These may include informal consultation with 

parents or teachers regarding concerns they have about their child's development; referral 

and evaluation services to determine if the child has a disability; speech, occupational or 

physical therapy; centerbased preschool or homebound services; direct counseling; instruction 

in academic areas; and transition services to prepare students for the world of work following 

graduation.  All services for children with verified disabilities are free of charge to parents.  

Staff is composed of school psychologists, speech language pathologists, resource teachers, 

occupational therapists, physical therapists, deaf educators, audiologists, and early childhood 

specialists.
