School districts throughout Ohio are participating in an effort to identify, locate and evaluate, all children with disabilities, birth through 21 years of age.
For children up to age 2, a disability means that a child has an established condition known to result in delay or documented developmental delay in one or more of the following areas: adaptive behavior, congnition, communication, physical development, sensory development, and/or social and emotional development.

For children, ages 3-21; a disability means a person being identified as having one or more of the following conditions such as autism,developmental delay, cognitive disability, hearing impairment; multiple disability, orthopedic, emotional disturbance, other health impairment, specific learning disability, traumatic brain injury, visual impairment, deaf-blindness, and/or speech or language impairment.

If a need is identified, the child can begin receiving the appropriate special education and related services. Free assessments are available to families to determine whether a disability exists. Please contact the Office of Special Services, 330-689-5430 for further information.
