Child Find

It is the responsibility of the Norwood Public Schools to identify any child who is a resident of Norwood who may have a disability, regardless of the severity of the disability.

It is also the responsibility of Norwood Public Schools to evaluate those students to determine if they are eligible for special education or related services under IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) or 603 CMR 28 (Massachusetts Special Education Regulations).

The Norwood school district is committed to identifying children before their third birthday in order to provide early intervention services for three and four-year-olds. If you have questions or concerns regarding your child’s development, please contact the Little Mustangs Preschool Academy at 781-310-8000.

If you suspect that your child, at any age, may need an evaluation to determine eligibility for special education services, you may request an evaluation, at no cost, at your child’s school. Please contact the Principal at your child’s school for information about referring your child for an evaluation.
