Child Find Program

The Child Find Program is a federal initiative designed to identify, locate, and evaluate children with disabilities who may need special education services. Schools and local agencies work together to ensure that all children, from birth to age 21, are screened for developmental delays or conditions that could affect their learning. If a child is identified as needing support, they can receive tailored educational services to help them succeed in school. The program emphasizes the importance of early intervention, aiming to provide necessary resources and support as soon as possible.
