Unicoi County Schools, along with Special Education Supervisor, Debbie Lamie, announce Child Find efforts to identify children in our county ages 3 to 21 with disabilities or who may be intellectually gifted.

•Speech or Language Impaired
•Deaf or Hearing Impaired
•Blind or Visually Limited
•Orthopedic Impairment or Other Health Impairments
•Specifically Learning Disabled
•Emotional Disturbance

We strive to locate, identify, and evaluate children with suspected disabilities or who may be intellectually gifted living in Unicoi County including those students that are homeless, migrant, or attending a home school or private school in our system. Anyone knowing of a child suspected of being disabled or intellectually gifted should contact the office of Special Education at (423) 743-1611. Information will be used in planning and providing free and appropriate public education programs for students with special needs.
An informational open house will be held at the Unicoi County Community Learning Center, Room 107, on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, from 1:00pm – 3:00pm.
