Project Child Find

Project Child Find is a free referral service and public awareness campaign to assist in the identification of unserved/underserved youth with a delay or disability from birth through twenty-one years of age.  The Washington Township Public School District provides eligible students with a Free and Appropriate Public Education beginning at age 3 years.  

The Child Study Team conducts evaluations of children ages 3 to 21, free of charge.  Children who are determined eligible can receive special education and related services through the District's Department of Special Services.

The comprehensive efforts of Project Child Find include:  

1. Assisting the families of infants and toddlers, birth through two, concerned about their child’s development by directing all requests regarding early intervention to the family’s local Special Child Health Case Management Unit.
