Is your student with a disability looking at colleges? It’s a good idea to review the DS sites to see what they offer (and don’t) and check for other sources of academic support on campus. I demonstrate how to do that in this video. https://bit.ly/LDAv8x #CollegeSearch #CollegeAccess #DyslexiaParent #ADHDparent #LearningDisabilitiesParent

Is your child starting a new school? Are they going to Kindergarten? Have you heard of a 45 Day Screening? Most families are not aware of a law in Arizona that focuses on identifying children with disabilities to ensure they are appropriately supported for educational success. In the schools, this is often known as the 45 Day Screening or 45 Day Screener. I am a fan of this because it reduces the chance of children slipping through the cracks and getting help late. Not every school has a strong approach to conducting this program, but implementing a 45 Day Screening means teachers and professionals in related services (e.g. speech therapist, occupational therapist) are looking at each child with a closer lens. And if additional services are warranted (e.g. intervention, special education), then we can make sure that these programs are initiated and monitored as soon as possible. Arizona Administrative Code (A.A.C.) R7-2-401 requires public education agencies to screen students for possible disabilities within 45 calendar days of certain events:  When a student enters preschool or kindergarten  When a student enrolls without appropriate screening, evaluation, or progress records  When a parent notifies the agency of concerns about their child's developmental or educational progress between the ages of 3 and 21 #45dayscreening #specialeducation #education #intervention #responsetointervention #rti #speech #speechtherapy #occupationaltherapy #publiceducation #publicschools #arizona #departmentofeducation #learning #support #children #students #kindergarten #readingdisability #learningdisability #languageimpairment #speechproblems #articulationdisorder #earlyidentification
