What is Project Child Find?

An effort coordinated by your local school system and the State Department of Public Instruction Exceptional Children Division, to locate and identify children and youth ages birth through 21 with disabilities who are in need of special education and related services.  Its mission is also to inform parents and/or guardians of the services available from their local school system and other state and community agencies.  

Who are the Children?
Children and youth who have been diagnosed or are suspected to have intellectual, physical, or emotional disabilities and are unable to benefit from a regular school program without special assistance. 

If you know of a child or youth with disabilities who is not in school or receiving special assistance, you can help by encouraging the parent or guardian to contact:

The child's teacher or principal

or

The Exceptional Children Program Administrator at 704-694-4417 ext 1700
