Child Find
The Northeast Academy for Aerospace and Advanced Technologies’ coaches and staff are responsible for ensuring that our school identifies, locates, and evaluates student enrolled in and attending NEAAAT with disabilities who may be in need of special education and related services. NEAAAT will continue these efforts while in a remote environment. Child find activities at NEAAAT include, but are not limited to, educating and training coaches and staff, teaming with parents, providing MTSS interventions, and completing screenings. If a parent of a child with a suspected disability has concerns, they should contact their child’s coach or Carolyn Walton, Director of Exceptional Children’s and Federal Programs, at (252) 562-0653 or carolynwalton@
