Schools
SSD provides special education services to students in a variety of placements, which are governed by the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Services are based entirely on a student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Placements range from SSD teachers providing special education services in the student’s home school district to attendance at an SSD special education school or program.

Partner district schools
More than 97 percent of students who receive services from SSD staff attend a school in the school district in which they live. This means that the vast majority of special education services provided by SSD are delivered by SSD staff in 265 schools in 22 public school districts in St. Louis County.
Private/Parochial
SSD teachers provide after-school special education services to students who attend private or parochial schools or who are home-schooled in St. Louis County. These services are provided through the district’s federally funded Special Non-Public Access Program (SNAP).
SNAP services are provided at dozens of public school sites in St. Louis County. The after-school nature of the program allows students to receive special education and related services without having to leave their non-public schools in the middle of the day. Through the years, the district’s SNAP program has provided quality special education services to more than 15,000 private and parochial school students.
For more information about SNAP services, contact Jodie Hay (north and west school districts) at 314.989.8239 or e-mail jhay@ssdmo.org or LeAnn Bearden (central and south school districts) at 314.989.8306 or e-mail
