Child Find
Child Find: (§300.109 and §300.111) (USBE SER II.A.)
Do you suspect that your child/student has a disability that falls under IDEA?
Washington County School District has policies and procedures to ensure that all students with disabilities ages birth through 21 (including students who are highly mobile -- such as students who are migrant and homeless, students who have been suspended or expelled from school, students who have not graduated from high school with a regular high school diploma, those who are suspected of being a student with a disability and who are in need of special education or special education and related services even though they are advancing from grade to grade, and regardless of the severity of the disability, and home school students within the LEA’s boundaries) are identified, located, and evaluated. The determination that a student is a “student with a disability” under these procedures must be made on an individual basis, by a team made up of the parent and school personnel determined by the student’s LEA.
If you suspect your child may be eligible for special education services under IDEA, please first contact your local school special education department (List of SpEd School Department Chairs). You may also try the WCSD District Office at 435-673-3553 ext. 5137 or ext. 5147 (for school students ages 5-21), and if 435-673-1557 (for special ed preschool ages 3-5).
