Forest Park is in Clayton County, served by Clayton County Public Schools. The district's Department of Exceptional Students serves students ages three through twenty-one, and its Preschool Diagnostic Center takes referrals for young children with significant delays at (770) 472-2460. Clayton is a county system, so Forest Park families use the same countywide contacts as the rest of Clayton County.
Clayton's Preschool Special Education program serves children ages 3 to 5 with identified disabilities, with specialized instruction in speech and language, cognition, motor, adaptive, and personal-social development. Children reach the program through a Babies Can't Wait transition or a direct referral. Eligibility comes from an evaluation that reviews developmental information from parents and caregivers, informal checklists, formal testing, observations, and medical information when relevant. Services can include special education instruction, speech and language services, and occupational and physical therapy.
