The Madera-Mariposa SELPA (Special Education Local Plan Area) oversees and supports the delivery of special education services across participating school districts in Madera and Mariposa counties. Its mission is to ensure that children and young adults with disabilities — from birth through age 22 — receive the individualized instruction and related services they need to thrive in educational settings. Through coordinated planning, compliance monitoring, and collaborative partnerships, the SELPA provides access to a full continuum of supports, including specialized academic programs, therapeutic services, behavioral interventions, mental health resources, and parent engagement opportunities. The SELPA also offers training and guidance for educators and families to promote inclusive practices and ensure that each student receives a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment.
