Why schedule a Child Find Screening?
Some children have more difficulty learning than others. They may have trouble achieving milestones in one or more of the following developmental or academic areas:
• Vision and Hearing
• Motor Control or Coordination
• Behavior or Social Skills
• Speech or Communication Skills
• Cognitive or Academic Skills
*A referral for early intervention or special education services can come from a parent, guardian, foster parent, family member, teacher, counselor, or the student who finds learning difficult.
Help for Preschool
Children ages birth to 2 years 10 1/2 months are screened to determine if early intervention services are needed. Early intervention brings professionals, working in partnership with parents and families of children with special needs, together to support infants’ or toddlers’ growth, development, and learning. If you have questions about your child’s development please call us so we can talk about your concerns and observe your child. If your child is found eligible, a plan will be designed to include strategies, activities, and supports to achieve desired outcomes related to your child’s needs.

-
