Special Education Contacts

Welcome to the Brooklyn Public Schools Special Education Department!

Brooklyn Public Schools is committed to fostering academic excellence, equity, and belonging for every student. We believe that all children deserve the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment.

The goal of the Special Education Department is to partner with students, families, and educators to ensure equitable access to high-quality instruction and supports in the least restrictive environment. Our schools provide a continuum of services designed to meet the diverse academic, social-emotional, and behavioral needs of all learners.

We deeply value our families as essential partners in creating meaningful and engaging learning experiences for every student.
