For School-Age Students (Ages 5-21): If you are concerned that your school-age child is developing or learning differently, you can talk with your child’s school social worker or principal who may refer the matter to the Intervention and Referral Services Team. You also have the right to request a child study team evaluation for consideration of special education and related services. Requests must be in writing and directed to:
