The Lyle Torrant Center is a public school operated by the Jackson County Intermediate School District.  The Torrant Center has been in operation since 1973, serving youth with developmental disabilities from all twelve school districts in Jackson County. Students are referred to us through the local school district Special Education teams. We primarily serve Cognitively Impaired (CI), Severely Multiply Impaired (SXI), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Early Childhood Developmentally Delayed (ECDD).  Our students range in age from birth to 26 years. Other programs offered at Torrant include Head Start and Audiological Evaluations.
