The challenge

When the Traditional System Isn’t Enough

Across Pennsylvania—and especially in Berks County—the number of students requiring specialized educational support is rising, while traditional systems struggle to keep pace.

65,047 students in Berks County
15,195 (23.7%) identified as special education
25% growth in specialized private education in the last 5 years

Students with emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges are too often left without the environment they need to succeed.
