Welcome to the Special Education and Related Services Department for the Stamford Public Schools.
The Special Education Department is ready to collaborate and listen to your concerns and address any questions that you may have about the referral process or your child's Individualized Education Plan (IEP). We offer quality programming that is geared to meet the needs of all students, which requires ongoing planning, support and collaboration between the home and school. Our website provides you with information, resources, and an overview of programming in SPS. We look forward to working as a team to provide your child a quality educational experience. If you have any questions or concerns, we encourage you to reach out to your child's classroom teacher or the Special Education Administrator at your school.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Fernandes
Associate Superintendent for Intervention and Student Support
