Exceptional Children

We would like to welcome you to our section of the South Carolina Department of Education's Web site.

The Office of Exceptional Children ensures that all children with disabilities in the state have available a free and appropriate public education (FAPE), protects the rights of these children and their parents, and provides leadership to school districts and state-operated programs in the provision of appropriate special educational services.

If you are interested in serving on various committees and task forces for programs for exceptional children, e-mail Susan D. DuRant, at sdurant@ed.sc.gov or telephone: 803-734-8806.
