The Child Find requirement is an example of a procedure established by Southeast Local Schools in response to a mandate by the State of Ohio. Child Find refers to the process of identifying, locating, and evaluating children residing in the district who may be entitled to special education and related services as a student with a disability.
A student with a disability is a child having one of the thirteen disabilities recognized by the State's criteria; this includes autism, deaf-blindness, developmental delay, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment (including deafness), intellectual disability, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, specific learning disability, speech or language impairment, traumatic brain injury, or visual impairment (including blindness).
If you are aware of a child in the Southeast Local School District who attends a public or non-public school in the district or who is homeless or a ward of the state and may be in need of special education and related services, please notify John Lamanna at Southeast Local School District at (330) 654-1933.
