Please visit [Family TIES of Massachusetts](https://fcsn.org/family-ties/) to find resources for your child. You can reach out to them without a doctor, and providers will evaluate your child in the home or at a center in your area to figure out what type of support would be best. ### School Special Education Resources Packet for Parents and Caregivers The following packet provides information about the process of getting an individualized education plan (IEP) for your child. Parents should provide a letter to their child’s school requesting an evaluation if they are concerned about their child’s progress. Concerns can also include speech and language delays. - [All Boston (and You!)
