Prior to COVID, Dickinson ISD met this federal mandate by scheduling a monthly intake event. During COVID, we have switched to conducting individual intake sessions, which are scheduled through the Special Programs office. We are committed to a process of location, early identification, evaluation and intervention to help children with disabilities that may need special education and/or related services specific to their individual needs.
Children ages 3-6 who are not currently enrolled in a public school program, and who are verified to live in the DISD attendance zone, are eligible to attend a free intake & assessment process for learning difficulties. Learning difficulties may include: speech impairment, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, learning disabilities, mental retardation, emotional disturbance, autism, multiple disabilities, traumatic brain injury, visual impairments, auditory impairments or deaf-blindness. If your child is not zoned to DISD, please contact your local school district’s Special Services department.
