Frequently Asked Questions About Special Needs Schools in Perry

How do I ask Houston County Schools to evaluate my preschooler?
Call Houston County's Child Find line at 478-218-4618, extension 1023. The Student Services Department offers free developmental evaluations for children suspected of developmental delays. Before you call, write down what you have noticed and when, such as speech, motor, play, or self-care concerns. Our evaluation request guide helps you prepare for that first conversation.
What is the difference between Part C and Part B services?
Part C of IDEA covers early intervention for infants and toddlers, which Georgia delivers through Babies Can't Wait from birth to the third birthday. Part B, section 619, covers preschool special education from age three, delivered by the school district. Houston County's Child Find process is built to find children who need either one. Our early intervention guide explains the handoff.
Can old special education records be destroyed?
Yes. Houston County has posted public notices that it destroys special education records once they are no longer needed for educational purposes. Former students and guardians may need those records for Social Security or other reasons. Request copies from the Student Services records office at the central office in Perry, 478-988-6200, extension 3370, and bring identification.
Can a scholarship help with a private school near Perry?
Possibly. The Georgia Special Needs Scholarship helps qualifying public school students who had an IEP or a qualifying 504 Plan in the prior school year pay for a participating private school. GaDOE posts a yearly participating school list and an award calculator. Confirm a school is on the current list before you apply, and keep your child's IEP records ready.
