Child Find
Do you suspect a child you know may have a disability?
Child find is a component of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act 2004 (IDEA ’04) that requires states to locate, identify, and evaluate all children with disabilities, aged birth through 21, who are in need of early intervention or special education services. This includes children who are highly mobile, such as migrant or homeless children, children suspected of having a disability even though they are advancing from grade to grade, private school students, and homeschool students.
Does your child have trouble achieving milestones in one or more of the following developmental or academic areas?
- Vision and Hearing
- Motor Control or Coordination
- Behavior or Social Skills
- Cognitive or Academic Skills
- Speech or Communication Skills
