Coming soon: the Hanover County special education digital family resource guide!
The digital family resource guide will provide links to videos that will share important information about the special education process, describe the purpose of special education meetings, and offer information and resources related to critical decision points. Links to downloadable guides and resources will also be included. The expected project completion date is summer 2023.
