School Overview
The Wexford-Missaukee Intermediate School District (WMISD) Special Education department, located in Cadillac, Michigan, serves as a vital regional resource dedicated to supporting students with diverse learning needs across the Wexford and Missaukee counties. The district operates as an educational service agency, working in collaboration with local school districts to ensure that students with disabilities—from early childhood through age 26—receive appropriate instruction, therapeutic support, and specialized programming. Their mission centers on providing equitable access to education by fostering inclusive environments and offering individualized support services tailored to each student's unique academic, behavioral, and developmental goals.

Beyond direct classroom instruction, the WMISD Special Education department acts as a hub for professional development, administrative guidance, and compliance oversight for member districts. By providing specialized staff, such as speech pathologists, school psychologists, and occupational therapists, they help local schools implement effective Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Their focus remains on empowering students to reach their highest potential, ensuring that educators and families have the tools, resources, and expert support necessary to navigate the complexities of special education effectively.
