The BPS offers a range of services for
children who have one or more disabilities. Services sometimes can begin as
early as age 3. If you are concerned about your child’s hearing, seeing,
talking, or physical or emotional development, you can call 635-7800 to make
an appointment for one of the free monthly screening sessions. (The
department you’ll be calling is now named "Unified Student Services.") After
the screening, the school professionals will work with you and with relevant
community agencies to determine whether special services or programs are
needed, and if so, which ones are best for your child.
