Child find: DISTRICT 50J - DELTA

Child Find is a free program within the public school systems designed to identify children from birth through twenty-one years of age who may have special needs. Free developmental services are provided statewide by Child Find programs for children from birth to 5 years with developmental disabilities. These are usually part of the local school district, but in rural areas the Child Find program is often connected to the Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES or BOCS), which provides special education services for several small districts. Child Find can provide developmental screenings and multidisciplinary evaluations.
