Special Education
Referrals for Special Education
The Lawrence Public Schools are committed to providing an education that appropriately meets the needs of each student. For some students, supportive educational assistance is needed through special education programs and services.
The Department of Student Services includes a comprehensive special education program which adheres to the federal regulations included in the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) Title II, and to the Kansas requirements contained within Article 12 of the Kansas Administrative Regulations. The need for services is determined in accordance to federal regulations (34 C.F.R. 300.111(a)(c)). If you believe your child may be in need of special education services, you may initiate a referral to your school's Special Services Team. |

Early Childhood Screenings |
Lawrence Public Schools will offer screening for children living in the district who are 5 years of age or younger (as of August 31) and who demonstrate possible delays in one or more areas of development (communication, motor, cognitive, sensory, etc.). Appointments are required and can be scheduled by contacting our early childhood center at (785) 832-5680.
