Conyers is the county seat of Rockdale County, and public special education here runs through Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS). Its Exceptional Children Services department works from the district Central Office at 960 Pine Street NE in Conyers. If you suspect your child, ages 3 to 21, may have a disability, the district asks you to call 770-860-4231.

Rockdale runs a separate preschool route called the READY Program for three- and four-year-olds whose development is delayed. Families call the same 770-860-4231 line, register the child with RCPS, and complete a READY referral packet. Two READY staff then form a Preschool Intervention team that works with the child's daycare or preschool teacher before an evaluation is proposed. Children under three go to Babies Can't Wait, Georgia's statewide early intervention program, instead. A private special-education school is either a family choice or a placement an IEP team decides.

Frequently Asked Questions About Special Needs Schools in Conyers

How does a READY Program referral work in Conyers?
Call the READY Program at 770-860-4231 to refer a three- or four-year-old for screening. RCPS asks the parent to register the child through student registration and complete a READY referral packet. A two-person Preschool Intervention team then visits the child's daycare or preschool and gives the teacher strategies to try. If your child is not making progress, the team asks your permission to evaluate.
Does Rockdale's Child Find cover private school and homeschooled children?
Yes. RCPS says Child Find extends to children parentally placed in private or home schools. District staff meet with private and home school representatives to explain Child Find procedures and the services that may be available under the proportionate share of federal special-education funds. If you suspect a disability, call the Learning Support office at 770-860-4231 and ask what that share covers for your child.
Where do babies and toddlers in Conyers start?
Children from birth to their third birthday go through Babies Can't Wait, the early intervention program of the Georgia Department of Public Health. Eligibility does not depend on income. You or a professional complete the ChildHealth referral form and send it to the Child Health Referral Contact for your county, or call that contact. Our early intervention guide explains the steps.
Can a Rockdale student use the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship?
The Georgia Special Needs Scholarship covers qualifying Georgia public school students who had an IEP or a Section 504 Plan in specified areas during the previous school year. The funds offset the cost of a private school that participates in the program. The Georgia Department of Education publishes the participating school list and an award calculator. Check eligibility there before you plan a move.
