Special Education

Child Find

The Los Alamos Public Schools is required to identify all children with disabilities from birth to age twenty-one who may be in need of special education and who reside within the jurisdiction of the district.  This applies to all children whether they are in public school, private school, or in the custody of public institutions or agencies.  Anyone who knows of a child with special needs, who is not presently being served by the public schools, should contact Karla Crane, Coordinator of Student Services at 663-2208.  Children who are birth to three years old are referred to the Part C Early Intervention Service Provider, Las Cumbres, for assessment and possible services.  Information will be kept confidential.
