Child Find
The intent of Child Find is that all children
from birth through age 21 with delays or
disabilities are identified, located and
evaluated to receive the supports and
services they need. Public schools and the
Arizona Early Intervention Program are
responsible for “finding” eligible children
and providing services needed for them to
reach their developmental milestones or
meet their educational needs. When
children are "found", they are referred to a
specialist to screen their development. The
screening helps "identify" any areas of
concern that need to be evaluated further.
In order to receive early intervention or
special education services, a child must be
evaluated to confirm they have a delay or
disability that falls under state definitions. If
needed, the child is evaluated using state
criteria for specific delays or disabilities. If
eligible, the Arizona Early Intervention
Program or a public school system will offer
early intervention or special education
services according to the child's needs.
