Frequently Asked Questions About Special Needs Schools in Greenfield

Who decides if a Greenfield-Central student qualifies?

A case conference committee, Indiana's name for the IEP team, decides eligibility after a multidisciplinary educational evaluation. Greenfield-Central calls parents and guardians vital members of that committee. If your child qualifies, the committee writes an IEP and chooses services in the least restrictive environment. Our IEP guide explains each part of the plan.

How should I prepare for the first case conference?

Collect report cards, teacher notes, outside evaluations, and a short list of what you see at home. Write down your top questions and the goals you care about most. Ask for evaluation results ahead of the meeting so you have time to read them. Our IEP prep checklist walks through each step.

Does Greenfield-Central serve preschoolers?

Yes. The corporation supports students with disabilities starting at age 3, and its special education contacts include a Director of Early Learning. If your child is approaching 3 or is already in preschool and you have concerns, call 317-462-4434 to ask how a preschool evaluation is arranged and where services would be delivered.
