Disability Assistance for Children
I found a few State resources that may be of assistance to you if your child has a disability. State Departments of Education oversee disability education services to children enrolled in the public school systems. It monitors all school districts for compliance with IDEA and state special education regulations. Below is a list of indispensable resources that are available within your area. Along with providing assistance, these resources may also provide you with referrals to other services that may be more appropriate for you and your family.
