Child Find

Child Find is the affirmative and ongoing process of public awareness, coordination with agencies and primary sources, and screening procedures to locate, identify, and evaluate all children with disabilities from birth through age 21 who may require early intervention or special education services. This includes infants, toddlers, students who are being homeschooled, and students who are in private school. Infants and toddlers can receive help through the government’s early intervention programs. 
 
Parents whose children do not attend public schools may not know what kind of help is available. Schools use various methods to reach those families. Outreach efforts can include local media campaigns, notices to parents, and notices posted in public places. If you are concerned a child you know may have a disability and may need specially designed instruction, please contact the Burnet CISD Special Programs Department at 512-756-2124.
