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.

 

Special Education Guidance ESS COVID-19

 

Child find applies to children who are:

  • Suspected of having a disability even though they are advancing from grade to grade
  • Highly mobile, such as migrant and homeless
  • Wards of the state
  • Private school students
  • Homeschool students

 

Note: Charter schools identify, locate, and evaluate all children with disabilities within their population served who are in need of special education and related services.

DATA MANAGEMENT ALERT

NEW Special Education Data Dashboard

The NEW Special Education Data Dashboard (SEDD) opens on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 (today). The purpose of this application is to provide a one-stop shop for public education agencies (PEAs) to securely view their special education data as well as a redacted statewide view. By viewing relevant data in one place, PEAs can see how it all ties together and ultimately, how it all culminates into the indicators outlined in the State Performance Plan (SPP) / Annual Performance Report (APR).
