Child Find is a legal requirement that schools find all children who have disabilities and who may be entitled to special education services. It is an active process for identifying students suspected of having a disability. When a parent, educator, doctor, or other individual suspects a child may have a disability, a request for a special education evaluation can be made to the student’s teacher or administrator in the district. Within 10 school days of receiving the request for initial evaluation, the district must provide notice addressing whether or not the district will conduct an evaluation. When the district proposes to conduct an evaluation, the district must request parental consent to evaluate the student. The district provides parents with information about their rights and procedural safeguards. With signed consent, a district may evaluate the student and determine if there is a need for special education and related services.
