LADSE
La Grange Area Department of Special Education ​

LADSE is a special education cooperative made up of 15 member districts.  LADSE collaborates with its member districts to provide high-quality, evidence-based programs and services and provide comprehensive, cost efficient support, and positive outcomes for students with disabilities ages 3 through 22.

Founded in 1957, LADSE is the first special education organization to be established in Illinois.  From 1957 until today, LADSE has continued to be a leader in special education supports, programs, services (including autism and assistive technology consultation), instructional environments, and professional development.  LADSE’s highly specialized teams provide direct, individualized support to students, families, and member district staff.

Odd Fellows Lodge Palacky #630 Awarded for Helping LADSE Families!
LADSE honored the Odd Fellows Lodge Palacky #630, located in Brookfield, Illinois, for its generous donations to LADSE families in need.  Dr. Ambuehl thanked lodge member, Bill Hudecek, who accepted an appreciation plaque acknowledging the donation of winter clothing, school supplies, Thanksgiving meals, and other charitable gifts at the LADSE November Directing Board meeting.  Mr. Hudecek also kindly shared a brief history of the Palacky #630 Lodge, which is an international organization dedicated to helping "make the world a better place to live by aiding each other, the community, the less fortunate, the youth, the elderly, and the environment in every way possible.”   LADSE is grateful for their commitment to our families.
