SCHOOL AGE

The School Program is an educational option in the continuum of special education services and learning environments available to individuals with developmental disabilities in the state of Ohio. The Local Educational Agency (LEA) is responsible for child identification, multi-factored evaluation, and development and review of each child's Individual Education Plan (IEP). Any child placed at Fairhaven by the LEA must meet the eligibility criteria of the Ohio Rules for Education of Handicapped Children and the State Department of Developmental Disabilities.

In order to receive services from the Trumbull County Board of Developmental Disabilities, a person must:

• be a resident of Trumbull County;
• have documented disability, a physical or mental impairment other than mental illness, and that disability:
• must have manifested prior to the age of 22 and is likely to continue indefinitely;
• have completed an assessment called the Ohio Eligibility Determination Instrument
  (C/OEDI), and documented substantial functional limitations in several areas of the instrument.
