The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) includes a child find mandate which requires school districts to identify, locate, and evaluate children with disabilities to determine the need for special education or other related services. Children identified through the child find process must still be assessed to confirm eligibility for services.   

 

If you are concerned about your child’s development or have questions about referring a child for special education services, please call (714) 220-6921 or submit the online Notification of Child Find form.

 

More information on Child Find procedures, including a brochure developed by the Greater Anaheim Special Education Local Education Plan Area (Greater Anaheim SELPA), can be found on their website.
