Start children from Charlottesville,
feral on-site review was conducted last Spring on MACAA's

Areas cited for ?mediate attention included referral of children for
scre[ening and d~agnosis, establishment of Individual Education Pla. ns
(IEPs), provision of appropriate services, documentation of service
delivery, staff and parent training, and, transition of disabled children
to at ~d from the Head Start program. On-going observations are also
nec~ssary at each of the twelve Head Start classrooms, Many of the

Hea~ Start requires that disabled children comprise at least ten
percent 00%) of total program enrollment. During the current school
yeari we have significantly Increased the participation of children with
spec~iat needs thro, ughout Head Start. A total of 37 children have
beer~ diagnosed w~th a disability or have been referred for screening,
This represents seventeen percent (17%) of funded enrollment.
