| | State and Federal Law ensures that "all individuals with exceptional needs have available to them a free, appropriate public education and related services to meet their unique needs." | |
|
| | The South East Consortium for Special Education (SECSE) Administrative Unit offices coordinate with school districts and the County Office of Education to provide a continuum of programs and services for disabled individuals from birth through 22 years of age. The South East Consortium for Special Education Administrative Unit is also available as a resource to the community on issues related to special education. | |
|
| | Referrals for identification of a student with possible special needs may come from:
- Parents
- Teachers
- Doctors
- Community agency personnel
- School-based Student Study or Child Study Team
- Any concerned individual
- The student
| |
|
| | Assessment will be done only with parent permission, at which time parents will also receive a copy of their rights. Upon identification of a special need for a student, the IEP Team shall consider appropriate services and placement.
Arrangements will be made to have a student's strengths and possible needs evaluated. This will be done through testing and conferences held among those who have worked with the student: teachers, nurses, counselors, therapists, psychologists and others. The assessment must be completed and an IEP meeting held within 50 days after receipt of a signed assessment plan. | |
