Child Find

IDEA requires districts to have polices and procedures to ensure that--

• All children with disabilities residing in the State, including children with disabilities who are homeless children or are wards of the State, and children with disabilities attending private schools, regardless of the severity of their disability, and who are in need of special education and related services, are identified, located, and evaluated; and

• A practical method is developed and implemented to determine which children are currently receiving needed special education and related services. 

Child find also must include—

• Children who are suspected of being a child with a disability under §300.8 and in need of special education, even though they are advancing from grade to grade; and

• Highly mobile children, including migrant children.
