2. What is Child Find? Child Find is a continuous network of public awareness events, infant screening and assessment programs designed to find, identify and compare all young children with disabilities and their families seeking special pre-school care as early as possible. Child Find is a legal requirement that schools find all children who have disabilities and who may be entitled to special education services.

3. Who is covered by Child Find? Children with disabilities from birth through age 21 are covered. This includes children who are being home-schooled or who are in private school. Child Find requires school districts to have a process for identifying and evaluating children who may need special education, and related service such as counselling or specific type of therapy. Even infants and toddlers can be evaluated.
