Inclusive Education at MCCTC

For the 2023-24 school year, MCCTC and Valley STEM provide special education services to more than 200 students around the Mahoning Valley. This is the result of the meaningful partnerships that have been developed with the residential districts of Mahoning County and their respective directors of student services. These amazing directors attend all IEP and ETR meetings while their students are at MCCTC and Valley STEM, and we pride ourselves on excellent teaming for the individual growth of these incredible students. Over 90% of the students served at MCCTC and Valley STEM receive the entirety of their education in a fully included setting. Our case managers focus heavily on self-advocacy and independence as we strive to transition our students toward readiness for post-secondary success.

In addition to fully including students with disabilities in our 22 state-tested career and technical programs, we also serve students in a Career-based Intervention program, a special enrollment program for students with intensive needs, and through our partnership with the Mahoning County Educational Service Center’s Transition to Work Program which is housed in our facility.
