Exceptional Child Education (ECE)

___________________________________________________________________________

Welcome to the Spencer County Schools Exceptional Child Education Webpage.  This site is designed to assist community members, parents, prospective parents, educators, and students. The website provides introductory information about special education services in the Spencer County Schools.

We are a team of professionals dedicated to providing services for students needing specially designed instruction (SDI). The Spencer County School District provides services to children and youth ages 3-21 who qualify for SDI.  General educators and special educators work collaboratively with parents to provide services for our students.  Educational services are individually determined based on a student’s educational disability and the student’s individual needs.

We have staff ready to answer any questions you may have about the education of students with special needs. You can reach someone at the Spencer County ECE Office by calling 502-477-6787 or by email at todd.russell@spencer.kyschools.us.
