Supplemental Special Education Services

SPEDTex has partnered with Texas Education Agency to provide support for parents interested in applying for the Supplemental Special Education Services (SSES) program.

What is Supplemental Special Education Services (SSES)?

Supplemental Special Education Services (SSES) are on-line accounts for eligible parents/caregivers of students with significant and complex disabilities that have been impacted by COVID-19 school closures. Families of students with eligible disabilities can use the on-line accounts to obtain special educational resources and supplies and/or services such as additional speech therapy or other specific services. SSES credits are up to $1,500 per student to be used to supplement what otherwise happens in school to help students continue to make educational progress.
