Early Education screenings scheduled

conduct Early Education screenings on Jan.
25-26 from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. to identify children
residing in the district who may have a
disability. Screening times will be assigned by

A child who needs to be screened is one who does
not appear to act, see, hear, speak, understand
or learn as others of his/her age. The tests
include vision and hearing screening, as well as
motor, language and learning tests.
Children who have a disability are eligible to
receive instructional and related services from
age three or from birth if visually or hearing
impaired.
If you have a child who is suspected of having a
disability, and is at least 2 years, 9 months
old, call the Special Education office at
469-713-5203 for an appointment.
If the child is younger than the required age,
but you are concerned, one may call the Special
Education office or one of the following Early
Childhood Intervention programs:
Special Care and Career Services -

972-991-6777.

Elementary area, 214-331-0109.
