Getting Help for Your Child

The Alvin ISD Special Education Department has a continuum of services for children ages 3-21 who demonstrate significant delays in communication, cognitive, academic, self-help, social development, behavior, and/or motor skills. A Full and Individual Evaluation (FIE) can be conducted to determine the presence of a disability and whether your child meets local, state, and federal guidelines for special education services. In order to access these services, a child must demonstrate both a disability and an educational need for specialized instruction. The evaluation is provided at no cost to parents who reside within Alvin ISD boundaries.
