The purpose of Child Find is to locate and evaluate children who are suspected of having a disability. Referrals can come from parents, teachers, doctors, or any concerned individuals. The referral process may result in a student study team meeting and evaluation of the student to determine if the student is eligible for special education. If a student is eligible for special education, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) will be developed to outline the specific supports and services the child will receive. Early identification and intervention are crucial in providing children with the best possible educational outcomes. We encourage families, community members, and agencies to be vigilant and proactive in identifying children who may have disabilities. If you know a child who might benefit from special education services, please contact our office to make a referral.To make a referral, please contact your local SCUSD school administrator, or the Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) office:Email: SELPA@scusd.edu Phone: (916) 643-9163
