Exceptional Children’s Personnel

Exceptional Children’s Personnel are responsible for providing information and assistance to school personnel who are responsible for ensuring that all procedures that apply to students with disabilities are implemented according to the intent and letter of the law.  In addition, the staff provides training to school personnel on laws/policies and effective classroom practice. Exceptional Children’s Personnel also consult with parents who need information about specific disabilities, community resources, or have concerns about their child’s education.

Child Find

If you have concerns that your child or child you work with may be a child with a disability who requires special education services please contact your child’s school and ask to speak with your Exceptional Children’s Case Teacher or Principal.
