Head Start and IDEA guidelines are followed to provide services for children with disabilities.
Head Start and the local school district Special Education staff collaborate to meet the needs of children with disabilities.
Local community and school district libraries are encouraged to shelve literature dealing with a variety of topics related to disabilities. In addition, libraries purchase books that specifically recognize and celebrate the diverse needs of all children.
The library center in each Head Start classroom displays books that facilitate the acceptance of disabilities and diversity.
The Head Start Program and LEA Special Education department have an Interagency Agreement for services to those children in the program that may need special services and meet the IDEA criteria.
The Head Start Program has an Interagency Agreement with the Texas ECI program, Home Spun, and Camino Real that provide services to children with disabilities who are 0 to 3 years of age. This agreement ensures the continuation of services through the Head Start program for families that meet the eligibility criteria.
