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.

LADSE takes 1st Place for Float in La Grange Pet Parade
​Once again LADSE has taken 1st place in the La Grange Pet Parade, which took place in June.  Our crew gave everything they had to make the event extra special.  Many thanks go out to the LADSE Mission Committee and all involved in organizing, creating and constructing the magnificent float, donating costumes and supplies,  designing and ordering tee shirts, picking up and returning a flatbed.  And to all the LADSE staff who brought their families and pets, THANK YOU!  Your LADSE spirit as you passed out candy or cheered from the float was in full swing.  Here's to doing it all over again next year!
