About Us

The New Hampshire Private Special Education Association is a diverse group of private schools and programs serving students with a broad range of abilities. We formed our association in 1981 to:

  • foster partnerships between private special education providers, parents/guardians, school districts, and agencies
  • facilitate excellence in programming
  • enhance effective communication

The individual and collective expertise of the member schools is comprehensive and represents a continuum of highly specialized services and intensive interventions. We are proud to offer all of these services to the students of New Hampshire.
