Do you know that public school districts must screen children for special needs? A school district must provide a free screening to a child if the parents request that the child be screened for a learning disability or other special need. The law that makes the screenings possible is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

For more information, please visit the Families and Kids section of www.MontanaLawHelp.org.
