Child Find

The purpose of Child Find is to identify, locate, screen, and evaluate children and youth, birth to age 21, who are suspected of, or have a disability or developmental delay for children enrolled in the LEA school district including public charter schools.

Child Find activities are announced in local newspapers, on the school website, and through other local sources throughout the year in order to identify suspected children with disabilities, including those children who are homeless, highly mobile, enrolled in public charter schools, including migrant children, children who are wards of the State, detained or incarcerated in jails or correctional facilities, or are parentally-placed in private schools (including religious, elementary and secondary schools) or home school/study programs, regardless of the severity of their disability, and who are in need of special educational and related services, are identified, located and evaluated.
