The 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.

The student’s teacher, guidance counselor, or parent may initiate requests for screening or informal evaluation of a student. 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 5 years of age who are suspected of 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 Service Access and Management office for children up to 3 years of age at 610-378-8850; for information relating to children between 3 and 5 years of age, contact the Berks County Intermediate Unit Early Intervention office at 610-987-8542.
