Mission & Vision

The Mercer County Educational Service Center’s Multiple Disability Classrooms serve children with various educational needs from districts ​throughout the county. Our goal is to provide education and opportunities that allow each child to reach their greatest potential. The focus ​turns from the disabilities to discover the abilities in each child. Students are provided instruction in the classroom but also given ​opportunities to be with typical peers and in the community. The focus for learning includes; academics, social, behavioral, fine motor, gross ​motor, and daily living activities.

Primary Classrooms:

The Primary Classrooms are located in Coldwater Elementary, Fort Recovery Elementary and St. Henry Elementary. The focus for learning is ​on social skills, learning to follow a schedule and functional academics. Students are included in the regular education classroom to interact ​with their typical peers. Students also participate in the Annual Fishing Derby at Grand Lake St. Marys and grade-level field trips.

Intermediate/Middle School Classrooms:

The Intermediate Classrooms are located in Coldwater and Fort Recovery Middle Schools. The focus for learning is on functional academics ​and building social skills with our peers in and out of the classroom. Students will go on errands around the community and also participate ​in the Annual Fishing Derby.

High School Classroom:

The High School Classroom is located at Coldwater EVS. The curriculum focuses on functional academics, vocational skills, daily living skills, ​and building independence. Students are beginning to participate in unpaid volunteer jobs in the school and in the community. Students ​also participate in the Annual Fishing Derby, the Peace Chords Bell Choir, Low Incidence Chili Cook-off, Annual Low Incidence Prom, and ​other community outings such as bowling, going out to eat, shopping, or to the movies. Teachers provide information to families about ​options as to what opportunities are available after graduation.
