    What is the process to get help for my child?

    1. If you suspect your child may have a learning disability, contact your child's building principal.
    2. The principal will hold a Response to Intervention Team (RTI) meeting to determine if additional building-level services will accelerate your child's learning.
    3. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) and Part 200 of the Commissioner’s Regulations, the District must have a Response to Intervention/RTI process to support a student’s education program before consideration of referral to the Committee on Special Education (CSE).
    4. If the RTI process does not improve your child's progress, then the committee will refer your child to the CSE. Parents may also refer their child to the CSE or the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE).
    5. Once parents have given signed consent to evaluate, a 60-day timeline commences during which time evaluation will occur and a meeting will be held.
    6. A meeting will be held with either the CSE or CPSE to determine your child's eligibility under CSE/CPSE and if your child is eligible, the CSE/CPSE will develop an Individualized Education Program for your child.

    Our office also oversees services for homeless students and school-based mental health services.
