Are you concerned that your child may have a developmental delay or disability?

Child Find is a program that helps families determine if a child, ages birth through 21, has a developmental delay or a disability and whether or not they need additional support services. Families who have concerns about their child’s health, hearing, intellectual functioning, language, learning, movement, serious behavioral needs, speech, or vision can call their child’s school.

Parents should contact their local school or the Monroe School District if they:

• Have questions about whether or not their child has a disability
• Would like to know how to help their child succeed in school
• Know their child has a disability and are looking for appropriate educational services
• Are concerned about their infant, toddler or preschool child's development
