Area Education Agencies (AEAs) were created to offer services to children in Iowa most equitably, efficiently and economically. Most parents and community members don't know the AEA until they need the AEA. If you are concerned about physical or learning delays exhibited in a child, we have caring and compassionate staff who will guide you in the right direction.
