All of these are great advice! To sum up...Hamilton County serves the Chattanooga area, county and city. If you're daughter is under 5, contact PALS (Preschool Assessment Learning System) at 423.209.5418. They will set up a time to meet and set up any observations, evaluations, etc. They have 60 school days to complete and provide the services she will qualify for. If she is expected to enter Kindergarten, the Exceptional Education Dept is who you need to contact. If you need further assistance, please give Lifeline a call (as stated above), or you can email me: elizabeth.thornburgh@chattanoogaautismcenter.org for further questions. Good Luck and welcome to Chattanooga!

We moved to Hamilton county two years ago from Indianapolis. I took my own copies of my girls' IEPs with me to their new school and gave copies to their teachers. Then brought them with me at the first case conference. I think they have a set amount of time that they have to meet with you and get their therapies started but I cannot remember exactly how many days it is. You will get all kinds of opinions about which school is best. We were at Wallace A Smith last year but ultimately decided to purchase a house in apison and have our children attend Apison Elementary and we have been very pleased with all services we've received. Good luck!
