Students may be eligible for these services at ages three through 22. Children with vision and/or hearing problems may be eligible for services beginning at birth.
The Special Education Information Center (SPEDTex) provides resources and interactive features for increasing family awareness of disabilities and special education processes, with the goal of improving partnerships between schools and families
