Child Find
Child Find is a district responsibility that is a component of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 2004) that requires
schools to identify, locate, and evaluate all children with disabilities
residing within the State, regardless of the severity of their
disabilities, and who are in need of special education and related
services (34 CFR 300.111).
Child Find is a continuous process of public awareness
activities, screening, and evaluation designed to locate, identify, and
evaluate children who are in need of Early Childhood Intervention (ECI)
Programs or Special Education.
