New Child Find Procedures

By now we all should have had the opportunity to attend training on the new Child Find Procedures. For those of us that have been in the field for a number of years, it may have felt like a pendulum swing. The message sounded familiar to the "old way of doing business." If we suspect a disability we get consent for a full and individual evaluation. There are still unanswered questions and more training to come...

Since many of us also work in Early ACCESS, we are familiar with "looking at the whole child"and evaluating all areas of development. Now for IEP children, we need to consider all domains, but we do not need to evaluate all domains.

Change occurs over time. Hang in there!
