Bristol Virginia Public Schools has a duty to locate, evaluate, and identify any child residing in the division who qualifies for special education services or any child attending the public schools who may require Section 504 accommodations or services.
Children eligible for special education include those children with disabilities who have autism, deaf-blindness, deafness, developmental delay, emotional disability, hearing impairment, intellectual disability, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, specific learning disability, speech or language impairment, traumatic brain injury, or visual impairment including blindness and who, because of such a disability, need special education services.
Children eligible for Section 504 accommodations or services include those children who have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.
If you suspect your child has a disability and may need special education services or Section 504 accommodations, or if you would like additional information, please contact your child’s teacher or call Susan Phillips, the director of special education services, at 276-821-5635.
