available from their local school system and other
state and community agencies.
Who Are the Children?

What Help is Available?
- A complete evaluation and, if appropriate,
- An Individualized Education Program for children with a disability beginning at age three,
- An Individualized Family Service Plan for each child with a disability birth through 2, or
