Services For Students In Non-Public Schools

If you believe your child may have a disability and needs extra support, there are two paths to consider based on where your child goes to school:
  1. If your child attends a nonpublic (private or parochial) school and you do not plan to enroll them in public school, you can request an Equitable Participation Evaluation through the Allegheny Intermediate Unit (AIU). The AIU will make recommendations based on what supports are available at your child's nonpublic school. Please note: Wilkinsburg School District does not provide special education services directly to students in nonpublic schools. 
  2. If you are considering public schools for your child, the Wilkinsburg School District can provide an evaluation by a certified school psychologist. To request this, send a written request for a Multidisciplinary Evaluation to the Office of Special Education at 718 Wallace Ave., Wilkinsburg, PA 15221. 
If you decide to go with the second option, your child must be registered as a resident student of the Wilkinsburg School District so we can begin the process. Your child can continue attending their current nonpublic school during the evaluation. However, if they qualify for special education, recommendations will be based on services available in the public school setting only.
