The Hamburg Area School District provides an array of special education programs and services. Parents who have concerns regarding their child’s achievement or behavior should contact the child’s teacher, guidance counselor, or principal.

Requests for screening or informal evaluation of a student may be initiated by the student’s teacher, guidance counselor, or parent. The student’s classroom performance, the results achieved on standardized educational and physical development tests, behavioral conduct, demonstrated concerns relating to sensory development such as hearing, vision, speech and language, or motor skills, or a combination of these, may be used as rationale for requesting intervention.

Children from birth to five years of age who are suspected as having a developmental delay or disability may be eligible for early intervention (preschool) services. Screening and identification of these children is extremely important. To obtain information about early intervention eligibility and screening procedures, contact the following agencies:
