Child Find Notice

It is the responsibility of the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District to identify any child who may have disability who is either a resident of Dighton, MA or Rehoboth, MA, or who attends a private school within the geographic boundaries of DR even if the student is not a resident of DR. This includes students who are homeschooled.

Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District is also responsible for the evaluation of those students, in order to determine if they are eligible for special education or related services under Federal Law, IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) or Massachusetts State Law. 603 CMR 28 (Massachusetts Special Education Regulations).

Dighton- Rehoboth Regional School District is also committed to identifying children before their third birthday, in order to provide early intervention services for three- and four-year-olds with disabilities. If you have questions or concerns regarding your child’s development and would like to have them screened, please contact Linda DeLeo at LdeLeo@drregional.org if you are a Rehoboth resident, and please contact Allison Hanson at ahanson@drregional.org  if you are a Dighton resident, to make an appointment to meet with a Special Education Coordinator.

If you suspect that your child may need an evaluation to determine eligibility for special education services, you may request an evaluation, at no cost, through the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District Office of Special Education.
