Technical Assistance Guides

TEA's Technical Assistance Team is pleased to announce the revision and posting of the Child Find and Evaluation technical assistance guide and the posting of the new Section 504 technical assistance guide. These technical assistance guides are intended for use by Texas educators to support implementation of services for students with, or suspected of having, disabilities. Our hope is that these guides provide Local Education Agencies (LEAs) access to reliable information that contributes to improved outcomes for students with disabilities.
