The SSD team is a support for kids at NG who have specialized learning needs as well as their general education teachers. Our SSD staff partners with classroom teachers to ensure your child's individual needs are being met.

Services are provided through an Individualized Education Plan which is a culmination of data collection, educational disability diagnosis and goal setting.

We take pride in the collaboration with general education & look forward to continuing to serve your children!
