What to Do if You Suspect A Disability 
School-Aged Child (5 to 21 years)
Any individual (i.e.: parent, teacher, principal) who suspects a child has a disability which could require special education services, should contact their child's teacher, school counselor or building principal to discuss options. Within 10 school days, a multi-disciplinary team will review available information to determine if a special education evaluation is needed based on a suspected disability.
