Parent Testimonials at SCOE Special Education:
“Two thumbs up, 110%, I love the program. He has gotten more confident and is verbalizing his feelings now. This program has helped with his issues and helped him get to the next level”
~Parent of a junior high student that attends our emotionally disturbed program at Salida Middle School
“When I was introduced to SCOE, I was lost and confused with a child that felt much worse than I did. Before coming here, everyone cared but didn't know how to help. With SCOE, I get both the nurture that I would provide for my son, and expert staff who are ready to equip my son with tools to help him grow and manage challenges. Positive and constant communication (with SCOE staff) allow me to make changes at home to accompany his progress at school. SCOE gives my son and myself a positive and progressive path forward.”
~Parent of a 4th grade student in our emotionally disturbed program at Sisk Elementary School
