Child find is a component of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA ’04) that requires Public Education Agencies (PEA) to locate, identify, and evaluate all children with disabilities, aged birth through 21, located within their boundaries of responsibility who are in need of early intervention or special education services.

Child Find is a component of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA ’04) that requires Public Education Agencies to locate, identify, and evaluate all children with disabilities, aged birth through 21, located within their boundaries of responsibility who are in need of early intervention or special education services. Schools meet their obligations for Child Find in several ways as represented by the Child Find Policy and Procedures Checklist. For children transitioning to preschool from Early Intervention, Arizona Department of Education and DES Arizona Early Intervention Program (AzEIP) have a Child Find and Transition Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) that defines the responsibilities for establishing and operating this statewide comprehensive, coordinated system.
