Special Education Child Find Notice & Kindergarten Screenings

Under federal and state special education regulations, ̽»¨ÊÓÆµs has a duty to locate, identify, refer, evaluate, and, if eligible, provide a free, appropriate public education to students with disabilities who reside in the town of Westwood.  For parents or guardians of children ages 3-21 years of age, who have a disability or developmental delay, and who would like more information, please contact Susan Maselli, Director of Student Services at 781-326-7500 x1345.
 
Under the requirements of Massachusetts Special Education Law, the ̽»¨ÊÓÆµs is required to screen all children entering kindergarten to identify students who may have a disability that would interfere with their ability to make effective progress in an educational environment. Kindergarten screening includes an assessment of the child’s development in the areas of cognition, language, and motor skills. If your child does not attend Kindergarten in the ̽»¨ÊÓÆµs and will turn five years old by September 1, 2025, please contact the ̽»¨ÊÓÆµ’s Student Services Department for a screening appointment. All screenings must be completed by October 31, 2025.   Please contact Susan Maselli, Director of Student Services at 781-326-7500 X1345 for more information.
