The Southeast Regional Cooperative (SER) is an organization under the umbrella of Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and Blind. This cooperative provides support services for students with sensory impairments in Graham county school districts, in addition to Cochise, Greenlee, Pima, Santa Cruz and other school districts in Pinal county. Some of the services provided through SER are the assistance in the identification and evaluation of students with sensory impairments; specialized equipment, instruction, and related services for those students; and assistance to the staff in the local school districts. The Southeast Regional Cooperative works in partnership with district staff to provide special education and related services for all sensory impaired students so these students can reach their individual potential in their local school setting.
