• Where to turn if you have concerns about your child's development
  If you have concerns about your child's development and/or progress in school and you would like to refer them for consideration of assessment and special education services, you should contact the school psychologist at your neighborhood school. The school psychologist will discuss the referral and assessment process with you and provide you with further information.
