Know Your Rights: Education

All people, including those we support, have the same rights, including the right to education. Person Centered Services is committed to helping individuals access educational opportunities, make informed choices, exercise their rights, and reach their full potential.

Students with developmental disabilities are entitled to a public education that meets their unique learning needs.
