April 14, 2026 – State education leaders say early identification is critical. Research consistently shows that children who receive support earlier are more likely to improve developmental outcomes and succeed in school. The initiative also aims to raise awareness of resources available to families navigating special education services.
Parents are encouraged to connect with local schools, ECI providers, and SPEDTex, which offers guidance on disabilities, legal rights, and school responsibilities under federal law.
The message is simple: even small concerns can be worth addressing. By taking action early, families can access tools and services that help children reach their full potential—both in the classroom and beyond.al Education programs are available.
