Since 1971, the National Association of Private Special Education Centers (NAPSEC) has served as the indispensable voice and premier resource for the private special education community. Our national membership network includes over 800 private special education schools, programs, and providers committed to supporting individuals with complex learning and developmental needs. 

NAPSEC champions special education programs that serve students who cannot be adequately supported in traditional public-school settings—ensuring equitable access to the environments, services, and specialized expertise they need to succeed. 

Whether you're looking for early intervention programs, therapeutic day schools, residential treatment centers, or adult living or vocational services, NAPSEC members offer high-quality, individualized support across the full continuum of care.
