What is Child Find?
"Child Find" refers to the process of locating, identifying, and evaluating children with disabilities to ensure that they receive services to which they are entitled. Children and youth, from birth to age 21, living in the Vestal CSD, who are suspected of having a disability, may be referred for a possible evaluation to determine if they are eligible for special education services. This includes District residents who are attending private schools.
