SASED

SASED, also known as the School Association for Special Education in DuPage County, is a collaborative effort of 18 school districts based in Naperville, Illinois. With a staff of 130 employees, SASED serves a diverse student population of 6,442 students with disabilities across DuPage County. SASED provides a comprehensive range of educational services to students aged 3 to 21, encompassing special education, related services, and specialized programs. Member districts primarily handle the needs of most students with disabilities, while SASED focuses on supporting students with moderate to severe disabilities, those requiring alternative learning environments, and students with severe hearing, vision, or orthopedic impairments. SASED prioritizes inclusive education, striving to place students in general attendance centers near their homes whenever feasible. The organization is guided by a Board of Control, composed of representatives from each member district, who meet monthly to oversee operations and ensure alignment with local school district governance.
