Opportunity.

Case For Support

We accept service requests for students who are from lower income households. For a student to be eligible, he or she must have a special education eligibility ruling for special education services and be enrolled in public school in Hinds County, Mississippi. In the future and as funding permits, we plan to provide services for students in all counties in Mississippi.

For service requests that do not meet the above criteria, Special Education Advocacy Services (SEAS) at www.seasmississippi.com may be able to provide assistance.
