Student Adjustment Center

The Student Adjustment Center (SAC) is the vehicle whereby home school districts may obtain specialized evaluations for students. All such evaluations are provided to the local school district's Committee on Special Education to assist the Committee in making decisions relative to educational placement and programming.
Medical evaluations are provided by local practitioners working for Western Suffolk BOCES. Professionals providing these services include: audiologists, neurologists, developmental pediatricians, ophthalmologists, optometrists, otolaryngologists, psychiatrists and psychologists. Personnel in local school districts are encouraged to recommend appropriate practitioners to Western Suffolk BOCES to fulfill this role. Any field of medicine or related service may be appropriate for inclusion within the scope of SAC if a school district's CSE views it as necessary to evaluate a child's total needs.
