Exceptional Education

The Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Support (GNETS) is a service available within the continuum of supports for LEAs to consider when determining the least restrictive environment for students with disabilities, ages 5-21. GNETS services is an option in the continuum of supports that prevents children from requiring residential or more restrictive placement. Students receiving services through GNETS are referred by their local school system through the Individual Education Program (IEP) process.

GNETS provides comprehensive educational and therapeutic support services to students who exhibit intense social, emotional and/or behavioral challenges with a severity, frequency, or duration such that the provision of education and related services in the general education environment has not enabled him or her to benefit educationally based on the IEP.

The DeKalb-Rockdale Program provides services for DeKalb County Schools, Rockdale County Schools,
and City of Decatur Schools.
