Students with Special Needs

New Haven Unified School District Special Services Department

Child Find

Do you know a child with special needs? 

We want to be sure that every child who has a disability receives the help he or she needs. We want to be sure that no child is overlooked. 

Everyone in the community who is concerned with the welfare of children may participate in the Child Find Process. 

The district actively seeks out and accepts referrals to assess children who may have a disability. This assessment is provided at no cost to the parent. 

A referral to Child Find may be made by a parent or by any person concerned about a child. Parent involvement and agreement is obtained prior to any further action. Information is confidential and the privacy of child and parents is protected. 

If you know of a child has one or more of the following disabilities (or you suspect a child has a disability.), please let us know. We’re here to help.
