The SSES application is closed. The application will open again on February 3, 2025, as the Parent-Directed Special Education Services (PDSES) application.

Supplemental Special Education Services (SSES) is now Parent-Directed Special Education Services (PDSES).

The PDSES program is the same as the SSES program, just with a new name to better reflect the importance of parents as decision makers in the educational process.
