You suspect that your child has a disability but don't know what to do or who to contact to fnd out what your next steps should be. A logical first point would be to discuss the problem with her pediatrician and determine what the problem might be. Your pediatrician should be able to make an initial determination that there is a problem and make a referral to a specialist for a more detailed examination. Based on further testing and the age of your child will determine to which agency a request for an evaluation will be made to determine your child's eligibility for Early Intervention (EI), Pre-School Special Education or Special Education.
