Search for Children with Disabilities
The 2004 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandate that every school district in the country develop a system to identify children with disabilities ages birth through 21 who live in the district.
 
Every year the Fairview Park City School District continues its efforts to identify in-school children with disabilities.  Since 1984, the district has conducted and will continue to conduct an intensive awareness campaign throughout the community to locate, identify, and evaluate children with disabilities under the ages of twenty-two.
 
Parents or guardians, who may have concerns about their child’s development or suspect that a disability may be present, should contact their building principal or Patricia Flynn, Director of Pupil Services at 440-331-5500.  Areas of concern could include:  hearing impaired, visually impaired, cognitively disabled, physically disabled, learning disabled, emotionally disturbed, autistic, traumatic brain injured or speech/language disabled.
 
Specific emphasis is directed at reaching the three to five year old population.  The Fairview Park City School District, as well as neighboring districts, provides specialized programming and services for the three to five year old child who has been determined to have a disability as outlined in the Operating Standards for Ohio’s Schools Serving Students with Disabilities.
