SPECIAL AND ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION

The LPVEC provides services to students aged 6 to 22 years who demonstrate a wide variety of exceptional learning needs, including social and emotional concerns and/or disabilities, learning disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and developmental disabilities. Students are referred to the LPVEC for services when they present needs for specially-designed instruction that cannot be delivered effectively within the traditional classroom.  The Twain Public Day School, Integrated Occupational Program, and Temporary Alternative Placement Program are all located at LPVEC’s facility on Brush Hill Avenue in West Springfield.  All other LPVEC special education programs are located within public schools of the member districts.

For more information, see our description of programs or contact the Special Education Office at 735-2200.
