West Carroll Special School District provides special services for children between the ages of three and twenty-one with disabilities. Speech/language disabilities, specific learning disabilities, vision, hard of hearing, autism, mental retardation, physically and/or health impaired, and high intellectual potential students are just a few of the eligibility areas. Educational needs are determined through parent interviews and child evaluations. Areas evaluated may include, but are not limited to, vision, hearing, speech and language, fine and gross motor skills, cognitive and adaptive development.

  Following evaluation, if a child is determined to meet Tennessee State Eligibility Standards and is in need of special educational services, an Individual Education Plan (IEP) will be developed for your child and an appropriate program will be developed to meet your child's educational needs.

The Tennessee Department of Education requires all districts to participate in the Tennessee Comprehensive Systemwide Planning Process. West Carroll's TCSPP document is located on the Form/Document Downloads link.

Contact Betty Wallace, Special Education Director, by phone at 731-662-4200 or by email at wallaceb3@k12tn.net if you know a child that you feel needs special services.
