Welcome to the APS Exceptional Student Services Department

The Exceptional Student Services (ESS) Department is committed to ensuring every student receives the support they need to thrive. We partner with schools, families, and community members to ensure that students receive high-quality services for students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment.

Our team includes dedicated professionals across a range of disciplines—including special education, related services, and support programs—working together to promote access, equity, and student success.
