Contra Costa County Office of Education

The Turner East County Special Education Program provides special day classes and services for approximately 70 students, infant through age 22, at 3 different sites in Antioch and Pittsburg.

 

The regional office is located at Turner Elementary School in Antioch. Support staff, such as speech therapists, augmentative communication specialists, nurses, psychologists, occupational therapists, and teachers of vision and hearing impaired students are also part of the program team. In addition, the California Children's Services has a medical therapy unit at the Turner site.

 

Parents are an integral part of our team and provide insight into their child's development and needs. We offer two parent training sessions per year. Students in the program receive instruction in academic and functional-skills. The curriculum is aligned with general education standards and benchmarks and provides access to the core curriculum. Numerous classes provide opportunities for community and general education integration.
