Under IDEA (Individuals with Disability Education Act), a child must be between the ages of (3) three and (21) twenty-one and meet the definition of a "child with a disability". The definition includes children with physical, emotional, learning or cognitive disabilities who, because of their condition, need special education and/or related services.
 

The Child Study Team is responsible for the identification , evaluation and determination  of eligibility for these students. The Child Study Team is also accountable  for the  development, monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of each students Individualized Education Plan (I.E.P.)

In addition, each school has an I.&R.S. (Intervention & Related Service) Committee, whereas, the Child Study Team members may provide service such as consultation to school staff and parents, assess the needs of students, and develop modifications, in many cases, to prevent a referral to Special Education.
