CHILD FIND
Child find is a component of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Child find applies to children who are:
- Suspected of having a disability even though they are advancing from grade to grade
- Highly mobile, such as migrant and homeless
- Wards of the state
- Private school students
- Homeschool students
New World Educational Center identifies, locates, and evaluates all children with disabilities within our population served. If the disability impacts his/her learning or educational performance, special education and/or related services may be recommended. Please contact the Special Education Department for additional information: (602) 238-9577.
PROCEDURE: To ensure the timely identification of students in need of support, New World Educational Center teaching staff will screen your child on aspects of his/her functioning such as hearing, vision, academic, language, behavior, social skills, cognition, perception, and/or motor skills. Screening is an informal process of quickly rating skill strengths and weaknesses.
