Tuskegee-Macon County Head Start

Tuskegee-Macon County Head Start serves low-income children, and services are extended to serving children with disabilities and their families. To be eligible, children must be 3 or 4 years old. Our program is required by the Office of Head Start to make space available to 10% of children with disabilities or special needs. The Disabilities Servic... e Area provides speech, hearing, and developmental screenings to all first year children within 45 days of entry into the program. In addition, children are referred to the Macon County Board of Education Local Education Agency (LEA), as deemed necessary for further evaluation. Results vary depending upon the child's development, and may end in the development of an Individual Education Plan (IEP) to better serve children with special needs. The LEA in conjunction with Head Start provides quality, mainstreamed services to children with special needs, and disabilities.Read More
