Georgia Association of Private Schools for Exceptional Children

The Georgia Association of Private Schools for Exceptional Children (GAPSEC) is a professional organization representing independent private schools dedicated to the unique educational needs of students with learning disabilities and differences. Since 1973, GAPSEC has fostered a collaborative network of schools that share best practices and resources specifically designed to enhance the educational experience for exceptional learners.

The member schools within this association specialize in supporting diverse learners, including students with language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional (2e) students. These institutions prioritize specialized supports such as Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), therapeutic services, and developmental support, often utilizing low student-teacher ratios to ensure tailored instruction and individualized attention for every child.

GAPSEC emphasizes a strong partnership between educators and families, recognizing that parent-teacher collaboration is essential for creating a successful, inclusive learning environment. Through advocacy at local, state, and national levels, the association promotes high standards of integrity and policies that benefit students with special needs.
