"Child Find" Screening
It is the responsibility of the Uxbridge Public Schools Department to identify any child who is a resident of Uxbridge, who may have a disability, regardless of the severity of the disability. It is also the responsibility of Uxbridge Public Schools to evaluate those students to determine which are eligible for special education or related services under the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) or 603 CMR 28 (Massachusetts Special Education Regulations)
The Uxbridge Public Schools are committed to locating children before their third birthday in order to provide early intervention services for three and four year olds. Screenings will be conducted on Thursday, February 11, 2021 from 11:45 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. If you have questions or concerns regarding your child's development and would like to have him/her screened, please contact Laura Newhall, Preschool Coordinator or Christine Veneziano, Administrative Assistant at the Taft Early Learning Center at (508) 278-8643 to schedule an appointment.
If you or your pediatrician believes that your child should be evaluated to determine eligibility for special education services, please request this in writing. Include your child's name, address, date of birth, and telephone number with a brief description of your concerns to the Principal of your child's school.
