Garfield Re-2 School District
Child Find
Child Find is a system in Colorado to refer children suspected of having a delay in development as early as possible. If a young child is not yet meeting typical developmental milestones, or someone is concerned about the child’s growth or learning, a referral can be made to Child Find.
Through the Child Find process we work with families about the concern(s) with a focus on meeting the child’s needs. Steps may include collecting information from families, conducting developmental screenings, and/or completing an evaluation.
In Garfield Re-2, we make sure that young learners having difficulties or delays in development get the help they need to be successful in school.
The purpose of the Child Find program is to locate and identify preschool-aged children ages birth to five who are having difficulty with their development in one or more of the following areas:
- Academic (early learning/concepts, thinking, problem-solving, preschool access skills)
- Communication (articulation, language, fluency and voice)
- Motor (fine and gross)
- Social/emotional
- Self-help; and/or
- Hearing and vision
Children can be referred to Child Find by a parent, doctor or other agency. The process may begin with a developmental screening and when appropriate, a comprehensive multi-disciplinary evaluation to determine eligibility for preschool through special education.
Child Find is available to families at no cost. To make a referral email childfind@garfieldre2.net.
