What is Child Find?

Child find is a component of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA ’04) that requires Public Education Agencies (PEA) to locate, identify, and evaluate all children with disabilities, aged birth through 21, located within their boundaries of responsibility* who are in need of early intervention or special education services.

*Boundaries of responsibility include any children who reside within the school district boundaries who are homeschooled, pre-school aged, or who attend for-profit, private school. Additionally, the responsibility extends to children who attend a non-profit, private school which is located in the school district boundaries.
