The mission of special education in Allendale County Schools is to provide the highest quality educational services to students with disabilities by implementing individualized, research and standards-based interventions, instruction and assessments both socially, and independently for success based on specifically identified needs, as we prepare them for sustainable employment, further education, and training.

The vision of Allendale County Schools Special Education Department is to promote, challenge, and empower students with inclusionary opportunities as appropriate for success and the development of self-advocacy.

Child Find refers to the policies and procedures in each state that ensure that all children with disabilities, birth through age 21, who live in South Carolina and are in need of special education and related services or early intervention services are identified and evaluated. Child Find is an effort coordinated by local education agencies (LEAs) to identify, locate, and evaluate all children and youth with disabilities who are in need of special education and related services. A free appropriate public education is the right of every child with a disability, age 3 through 21.
