Please note: Inservice points for this summer's professional development opportunities will not be awarded until the fall when student impact implementation data is submitted.

New information regarding FDLRS professional development. If you are renewing your teaching certificate prior to June 30, please plan accordingly.

The Florida Department of Education Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services (BEESS) requires that discretionary projects measure the impact of professional development on student learning.

Student Impact Data must be collected from each participant at the conclusion of each professional learning opportunity.

FDLRS will not submit documentation of earned inservice points to public school districts until six weeks after the completion of the professional learning event, in order to allow time for collection of required student data.

Developmental Screenings and Evaluations
FDLRS Action does not provide screenings or evaluations.
All requests are directed to the appropriate office in the county in which you reside.

These children, ages ranging from birth through 21 - with an emphasis on birth to five, may be eligible for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) and links them with needed services.

If you suspect your child needs an evaluation, please contact the appropriate office for the county in which you live. Click here for more information.
