The Hancock County Educational Service Center provides special education services for eight county schools within Hancock County. These ESC Units are meant to provide specialized services for students who need more direct intervention for successful development and progress. The ESC works to keep administrators, teachers, staff, and parents well informed regarding state and federal guidelines. These services are provided through a professionally trained staff of speech and language pathologists, physical therapist, occupational therapists, adapted physical education teacher, psychologists, and intervention specialists.
