Child Find

 

IDEA requires all states to have a "comprehensive Child Find system" to assure that all children, birth to 21, who are in need of early intervention or special education services are located, identified, and referred. If you are concerned about your child’s development, suspect they have a disability, or know your child has a disability and are looking for appropriate educational services please contact the appropriate person based on your child’s current age
