What is Project Child Find?
An effort coordinated by your local school system and the Office of Exceptional Children, State Department of Public Instruction to:
-
- Locate and identify children ages from birth through 21 with disabilities who require special education and related services.
- Inform parents or guardians of the services available from their local school system and other state and community agencies.
Who Are the Children?
With Child Find, children include those who have disabilities or are suspected of having a disability related to intellectual ability, physical, or emotional disabilities and can not benefit from regular education school programs without special assistance.
What Help is Available?
-
- A complete evaluation and, if appropriate,
- An Individualized Education Program for children with a disability beginning at age three,
- An Individual Family Service Plan for each child with a disability birth through 2, or
- A referral to other agencies when needed.
