Important Message from the Executive Director

Northwest Educational Service Center is dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where every student, especially those with special needs, receives the support they need to thrive. We understand the unique challenges that families face, and we are committed to partnering withthem to ensure that each child has access to the resources and opportunities they deserve. Our staff is not only highly trained in special education but also deeply passionate about making a difference in the lives of our students.

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. In partnership with our 19 school districts, we work closely with families, educators, and community partners to develop individualized plans that meet the specific needs of each student. By fostering these strong, collaborative relationships, we can create a network of support that extends beyond the classroom and into every aspect of a child's life. Together, with our districts, we strive to build a community where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
