What do I do if the school is noncompliant with providing special education services?

 Caregivers should first work with the special education coordinator at the child’s school to discuss what services are in place and if any revisions need to be made. If a school continues to be noncompliant, the caregiver can request that the DCS specialist or therapist refer the child for services through Raising Special Kids.

You can also contact the Arizona Department of Education for information and support to ensure that Arizona schools are following special education laws.

The Office of Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education can provide assistance to caregivers if they request it.
