The Canton Local School District is announcing its goal to reach all students in the area.
The district's Special Services Office is specifically now looking for any persons in need of special education.
Special Education, according to information received from the school district, means specially designed instruction, at no cost to the parent, to meet the unique needs of a handicapped child.
Special Education Programs are provided for all children who have a handicapping disability. A disability in this instance means conditions such as: hearing impairments, visual impairments, speech or language impairments, autism and traumatic brain injury. Every handicapped child in Ohio is entitled to services provided by the school district in which they reside.
These services include: Evaluation services for all children birth through twenty one years, diagnostic services for all children birth through 21 years of age and educational programs for children three through 21 years of age.
If you know of a child who is handicapped or at risk and not receiving service, please call Canton Local Schools District's Special Services Office at 330-484-8022.
