Public schools and the Arizona Early Intervention program are responsible for "finding" eligible children and providing services.

 

If you feel that your child has an educational disability or if they are of preschool age and have a delay, call Vickie Clawson at 928-567-8235.

 

The phone number for Arizona Early Intervention Program is 602-532-9960 for children ages birth to three.

 

It is the Camp Verde Unified School District's responsibility to inform the general public and all parents in boundaries of our responsibility to make available special education services for students with disabilities age 3 through 21 years and how to access those services.  In addition, we have a responsibility to provide information regarding early intervention services for children birth through 2 years.  

 

We are responsibile for identifying, locating and evaluating all children with disabilities including children age 3 through 21 and for referring children from birth through 2 years of age to Arizona Early Intervention (AzEIP) for evaluation and appropriate services.

 

We are also responsible for providing a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) which includes special education and related services to children with disabilities at public expense, under public supervision and direction and without charge to the parents.

 

For all new students to the district, the classroom teacher will complete screening activities within 45 days of entrollment.  The teacher will look at the child's ability in the areas of academics, vision, hearing, communication, social/emotional and motor skills.  If any concerns are noted, the child may be referred to the child study team for additional help.

 

Children birth through 2 years of age who are receiving early intervention services and will be participating in pre-school programs for children with disabilities will be assured of a smooth transition into that program.  We will ensure that:

             Transition conferences for children aged 2 years 6 months to 2 years 9 months will be held;

              By the chlid's 3rd birthday an Individualized Education Program (IEP) will be developed and implemented and,

              For the child who turns 3 during the summer, the IEP team will determine the date for services to begin including eligibility for Extended School Year (ESY) services.

 

If you have concerns about a child you know, please contact Tonya Brogdon at 567-8235.
