Special Education Residencies in
​Greenville County High Schools

CDC receives annual funding from the Barbara Stone Foundation to work alongside special education high schoolers in the Greenville County Public Schools. 4 Schools are chosen both in the Fall and Spring semesters to participate in 5 weeks of lessons that finishes with a large performance of all involved schools. It's a special opportunity for our students and having the chance to perform on stage is an exciting experience for everyone involved. Peer tutors and teachers play a large role in the project and also join us onstage to assist our SpEd performers. Watch the video below to learn more about it.

Inclusive summer camps

All individuals with disabilities are also welcome to join our summer camps for a week of movement fun, crafts, and snacks. 2019 Summer Camps wrapped up for the year but check back in for Summer 2020 closer to March for a list of Summer Camp options.
