Welcome to Camden Student Support Services, Special Education Office. Student Support services encompasses children from the ages of 2 1/2 through 21 years and services within CPSE, CSE and Section 504.
Have the courage to move beyond mere discussion and act. Encourage and help others use their strengths. Live in a way that challenges others to reach for more and unlock the unlimited possibilities for positive change. Be a visionary! Take the first step even when others are content standing still in mediocrity."
- Elizabeth Stecher (Inspiring Children)
