Community High School District 99 is a member of SASED (School Association for Special Education in DuPage County). Special Education involvement is directed through the local school attendance area.

District 99 and its associated districts in SASED have programs for students age 3 through 21.

Some of the programs offered in the local high schools and/or through SASED, the special education cooperative, are for students eligible as:
