Things to Consider
If you think your child may need special education services, keep in mind that:
- Children learn and develop at different speeds and in different ways.
- Children who learn differently do not necessarily have a disability.
- Children should not be referred for special education services because of limited English proficiency.
Multilingual Learners
If English is not your child's first language, your child may be able to get support through an English as a New Language (ENL) or bilingual program, or in the case of Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing children, access to a sign language interpreter in their classroom.
