Question:

How does the school determine if my child has a disability?

Answer:

To determine if your child qualifies for special education services due to a disability in Maryland schools, they may need an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a Section 504 plan. These plans outline the services and supports your child may receive. If you believe your child’s rights have been violated, you can file a complaint with the Maryland State Department of Education. It’s important to provide detailed information about the alleged violation. If your child’s behavior is related to their disability, you can request an IEP team meeting and share any relevant medical reports or information to support your case.
