CHILD FIND:
USD 416 will be holding developmental screening clinics during the 2024-2025 school
year. The district participates in the Child Find process to locate children who may need
special education services as early as possible. Child Find in Kansas involves a
screening process for children from ages 3-5. Schools in conjunction with parents use
these processes to locate, evaluate, and identify children who may need special
education and related services. Children in need of special education services should
be identified as young as possible and also as soon as possible after the concern is
noted. The earliest possible identification of education or behavioral concerns will
diminish the impact of the concerns on the child's education. If you have concerns about your child's skills and abilities (cognitive, speech, language, fine or gross motor, etc.) compared to their peers of the same age, please consider this amazing, free service. Screenings take place one Friday of each month. The screening will take approximately 45 minutes. Trained professionals will check each child’s large and small muscle development, communication, and thinking skills. Appointments may be made by calling the USD 416 main office at 913-837-1700.
