Project Child Find
What is Project Child Find? An effort coordinated by your local school system and the Exceptional Children Division, State Department of Public Instruction, to: • Locate and identify children and youth ages birth through 21 with disabilities who are in need of special education and related services. • Inform parents and/or guardians of the services available from their local school system and other state and community agencies.
Parent Rights and Responsibilities in Special Education
The IDEA requires schools to provide parents of a student with a disability notice containing a full explanation of the Procedural Safeguards (legal rights) available under the IDEA and the accompanying federal regulations. It is critical for parents to understand both their rights and responsibilities in the special education process.
