Getting Started

School-Based Services

  • Contact your school district's Office of Special Services (sometimes called the Office of Pupil Personnel Services) to request a meeting with the Child Study Team.
  • Discuss your concerns with the Child Study Team, which is typically made up of a school psychologist, learning disabilities teaching consultant, social worker, and sometimes a speech-language pathologist, to determine if a child study team evaluation is warranted.
  • If your child is evaluated by the Child Study Team and classified as eligible for a special education program and related services, than a referral may be made for an occupational, physical or speech-language therapy evaluation and/or services if educationally warranted.
  • In some cases children are able to receive services and/or reasonable accommodations in school under Section 504 of the Americans With Disabilities Act. This is for non-classified students who have a physical or mental impairment, which substantially limits one or more major life activities.

  • “I love that the team incorporates whatever Kruz is interested in and makes it therapeutic. He loves balls, so they do a lot of catching and throwing to help him get more range of motion. They also play with a lot of bubbles which he loves.”

  • “Not every child is the same, especially with down syndrome, and CSH was great at communicating where his strengths were, where his weaknesses were and what we should continue doing.”
