Family Partnerships
We know that parents and guardians are essential partners in the special education process. AJUSD is committed to open communication, collaboration, and transparency. Our staff provides guidance and support at every step, from initial evaluation through annual IEP meetings and beyond.
Have questions about the process? Need help advocating for your child? We’re here for you.

Child Find
If you suspect your child may have a disability, or if you're new to the district and have concerns, our Child Find process can help. Early identification is key to early support.
